DESCRIPTION:The Department of Electrical Engineering at the École de Techn
 ologie Supérieure and the Power Electronics Society (PELS) chapter in col
 laboration with the Industrial Electronics Society (IES) chapter in the IE
 EE Montreal Section cordially invites you to a seminar presented by Dr. Sa
 ndeep Anand\, Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology\, 
 Kanpur\, India. Please register using the link provided below.\n\nSeminar 
 Abstract\n\nSolar Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the fastest growing renewab
 le energy resources\, which is being integrated into distribution systems 
 worldwide due to its easy installation and cost competitiveness. Inverters
  play an important role in extracting\, processing and feeding the power t
 o the grid. Over the last decade\, various interesting topologies and cont
 rol methods have led to Improvements in its performance. With increasing p
 enetration of solar PV in distribution system\, new challenges such as rel
 iability\, extraction efficiency\, reactive power etc. are gaining importa
 nce.\n\nThis seminar would focus on the recent advancements in solar PV st
 ring inverters. Topics related to circuit topologies such as leakage curre
 nts\, conversion efficiency and power decoupling would be discussed. Relia
 bility and health monitoring of various components of Inverter would be in
 troduced as potential areas for future research. The solutions to some of 
 these problems\, found at Power Electronics for Renewable Integration (PER
 I) Lab\, at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur\, India\, would be
  presented. Joint projects carried out with the participation of various I
 ndustries in this area\, would also be discussed.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Sande
