2020 Tech Conference - Fall (Day 3) - Multi-Megawatt Power Converters for Grid Applications and Power Quality Support: State of the Art and Future
Multi-Megawatt Power Converters for Grid Applications and Power Quality Support: State of the Art and Future
As renewable energy installations continue to become a greater portion of the generation mix on the distribution power system, Multi-MW Power Converters and their features play an increasingly critical role in the areas of power generation, storage, grid support, power quality and interactions among installations.
This presentation includes an overview of topologies and features of state of the art grid connected converters. System modeling and application considerations and recent application examples in power quality support roles are presented. The need for new converter features, model features and the state of the technology developments in this area is also discussed
TECH CONFERENCE NOW ONLINE! Orlando IEEE PES/IAS/PEL is holding our annual Technical Conference in Fall of 2020 since the world wide pandemic limited our in-person options in the Spring of 2020. The Conference will be entirely online and a Webex link will be sent to registered attendees a few days before the meeting.
CEUs Being Offered! For those who would like CEU's good towards your professional license we will offer 2-3 hours per night.
