Towards a More Reliable and Efficient Electric Power System
The continued development of power electronics is significantly reshaping the modern power industry from generation, transmission, to distribution systems. The widespread use of power electronics presents both challenges and opportunities in these applications. This presentation will demonstrate methods and techniques for a more reliable and efficient operation of power electronics based modern electric systems, focusing on high power electronics devices and the protection of dc power systems. From the device level, the characterization and potential application of ultra-wide band gap Ga2O3 devices will be discussed, along with device series connection techniques. These developments will enable the implementation of power electronics devices in high voltage/high power applications such as high voltage dc transmissions and pulse power. From the system level, the detection of dc arc faults in modern dc distribution systems with constant power loads will be also presented.
