DESCRIPTION:Talk 1:\n\nIn this talk\, the operation of DC-DC converters\, w
 hich work by exchanging energy between storage elements due to the action 
 of switching semiconductors are explored. The storage elements (mainly ind
 uctors and capacitors) are also called passive components. The size of the
  converters is highly influenced by the size of inductors and capacitors w
 hich is at the same time influenced by the power dissipation and the store
 d energy. It is desirable to design compact converters. However\, reducing
  this energy cannot be done arbitrarily due to the constraints imposed by 
 switching ripple specifications\, and reducing the power rating cannot be 
 done due to safety. Various topologies that have been designed with reduce
 d stored energy\, examining their advantages and the trade-offs involved w
 ill be highlighted. The discussion will highlight innovative approaches to
  achieving efficiency and compactness in converter design.\n\nTalk 2:\n\nD
 esigning compensators for control models in the αβ0 reference frame for 
 tracking sinusoidal functions of time is not a straightforward task. Alter
 natively\, a control scheme in dq reference frame offers the possibility t
 o track dc control signals. It also allows simpler design of compensators.
  This talk covers a control scheme in the dq reference frame integrated to
  a modulator and voltage balancing algorithm for Hexverter-based systems f
 unctioning as an intertie. It can be considered as an extension of the con
 trol model developed for the two-level voltage source inverter. By doing s
 o\, an independent regulation of the Hexverter's active and reactive power
  flows can be realized. The control system is validated using PSCAD/EMTDC 
 computer simulations.\n\nSpeaker(s): Julio C Rosas Caro\, Hector R.Robles
