Invited Speaker:

Dr. Dinesh Kumar

IEEE Distinguished Lecturer

Lead Power Electronics Specialist, 

Danfoss Drives A/S, Denmark

Abstract:

The recent development in power electronic devices have increased the use of converters in renewable energy sources (RES), energy storage systems and smart loads in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications. These modern power converter technologies with fast switching semiconductor devices give harmonic distortion in a higher frequency range, where existing IEC and IEEE standards have requirement gaps. To ensure the seamless and fast transition to green energy technologies such as RES (solar, electric vehicles etc.), the main challenge is how the gaps in the relevant standards need to be identified and how to be addressed. The lecture will focus on such challenges and its resolutions.
