The future customer is expected to inter act with the provider or utility based on economic\, social\, environmenta l and security considerations. Power electronics is a key technology that connects modern customers with utility by enabling distributed generation\ , microgrids and the integration of electronic loads. FREEDM Systems Cente r at North Carolina State University have been pioneering many of the powe r converter and control developments. One of the core technologies being d eveloped at FREEDM is the solid-state transformer (SST) which behave like a smart transformer with the advantages of power flow control\, reactive p ower compensation capability\, and potential fault current limitation. In addition\, system controls play a key role in networked power electronics systems where they are implemented in a hierarchical manner starting from local power converter controls to primary to secondary\, and to tertiary l evels. The control challenges are immense both due to interaction among th e power electronics converters and the intermittency of the renewables. Th e demand and desire is to make control algorithms for these power electron ic converters that can provide automated and robust power\, energy and fau lt management in a network. In the transportation electrification sector\, the transition to electric road transport technologies is gaining momentu m with record-high new electric vehicle registrations taking place in rece nt years and fast vehicles chargers being incorporated into the power dist ributions system. DC-link voltage level up to 800-V standard is being cons idered to support charge rates up to 350kW with extreme fast chargers.\n\n This seminar will give an overview of the power electronic converters\, sy stem controls\, electric vehicle extreme fast charger\, and electric power train inverters being developed at FREEDM with an attempt to relate to the electrification and renewable generation interests in Australia.\n\nSpeak er(s): Professor Iqbal Husain\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or g/m/312701 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312701 ORGANIZER:saha@itee.uq.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Power Distribution System Modernization with Power Electronic Conve rters and Integrated Renewables URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312701 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The integration of power electronic conver ters\, local renewable generation\, load\, and/or storage is currently fin ding widespread applications in microgrids\, electric ships\, drone delive ry\, electric vehicle fast chargers\, large scale data centers\, and comme rcial/industrial buildings bringing the benefits of high efficiency\, powe r quality\, flexibility\, stability\, and reliability.
