Theme
Power Electronic systems act as the interface between
renewable energy sources and the grid. This workshop
addresses the fundamentals of power generation technology
from renewable energy sources particularly wind and solar
power. The workshop covers the control and management of
power electronic converters and energy storage components
during interfacing wind and solar sources with the grid. The
design of power electronic converters is treated in depth,
including conventional and emerging converter topologies
to optimize the energy conversion and transmission, to
control reactive power, to minimize harmonic distortion, to
achieve low cost, to increase efficiency over a wide power
range and to have high reliability. It also focuses on power
quality issues of renewable energy systems and associated
smart energy management principles.
It is also aimed at bringing the academia and technocrats in
one platform to discuss common interests, existing
challenges, concerns and problems that comply with
international standards and the possible solutions of grid
integration of renewable energy systems.
