Assistant Professor, Aalborg University, Denmark

Power systems are becoming more and more distributed both in control and structure along with increasing the proliferation of renewable generations. Microgrids are deemed as a key technology facilitating optimal and reliable operation of distributed power systems. On the other hand, power electronics are one of the main parts of energy conversion stage in microgrids. Thus, the reliability of power converters is of paramount importance to guarantee desired long-term performance of future energy systems. This requires modeling and enhancing the long-term performance of microgrids using advanced model-based techniques both in hardware and control levels. This talk will provide deep insight into reliability of power electronic converters on microgrid applications from different perspectives.
