DESCRIPTION:Partial Power Converters (PPC) are an emerging class of power c
 onversion architectures that process only a fraction of the total power of
  the system\, resulting in higher efficiency and power density while poten
 tially reducing costs. Although the concept has existed for decades—most
  notably in doubly-fed induction generators used in early wind turbines—
 their potential in energy transition applications is only beginning to be 
 fully recognized.\nThis presentation introduces the PPC concept and its ev
 olution from traditional applications to new domains in renewable energy a
 nd electrification. It focuses on the implementation of PPCs in two-stage 
 utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. This technology enables precise m
 aximum power point tracking (MPPT) while achieving efficiencies exceeding 
 99% and maintaining a remarkably flat efficiency curve across a wide opera
 ting range.\nBeyond PV\, the presentation explores how the PPC principle c
 an be extended to a variety of energy transition applications\, including 
 high-power LED drivers\, electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations\, gr
 een hydrogen production\, and energy storage systems. Each case highlights
  how partial power processing can substantially increase efficiency and po
 wer density.\nThe talk concludes with an outlook on future directions and 
 ongoing research in PPC topologies that can accelerate the electrification
  and decarbonization of modern energy systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Samir Kouro\
