DESCRIPTION:The electric power system is experiencing a major transformatio
 n. The distributed energy resource (DER) technology is proliferating with 
 the global objective of overcoming the problems with the existing way of e
 lectricity production and transmission. The full integration of the DER an
 d the electric vehicle technologies is the path to reaching this objective
 . While more of the central power plants are being retired\, the backbone 
 of the power grid including the transmission and distribution infrastructu
 re continues to be relevant and must be properly upgraded and modernized t
 o enable such full integration. Smart metering\, reliable and secure data 
 processing and communication\, intelligent protection\, and advanced centr
 alized and decentralized management and control systems must all synergize
  towards this goal.\n\nThe power electronic interface used in a DER system
  governs its interaction with the rest of the power and energy network. A 
 desirable interface must be able to perform within a wide range of system 
 parameters and conditions (i.e.\, to be robust)\, withstand system failure
 s (i.e.\, to be reliable)\, have low power loss (i.e.\, to be efficient)\,
  and provide intelligent responses without being too complicated or too ex
 pensive (i.e.\, to be smart).\n\nThis presentation covers some of our past
  and ongoing research efforts to enable the power electronic interfaces to
  possess such properties. All or a subset of the following topics will be 
 presented: advanced grid synchronization tools\, robust synchronization to
  weak and dynamic terminals\, dc-link natural inertia emulation\, grid-bal
 ancing inverters\, distributed PV-battery synergy\, grid-supportive batter
 y systems\, modeling of DERs for power system studies\, and stability anal
 ysis.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Masoud Karimi\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtool
