Seminar on Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Systems

This seminar focuses on facilitating the student to gain knowledge in renewable energy systems with power electronics converters. There are many renewable energy sources such as biomass, solar, wind, mini-hydro and tidal power. Power electronics finds applications in most RES technologies, solar and wind energy systems being the most important applications. This seminar has been designed to cover topics related to the design of alternative energy based systems.
The main objective of this seminar is to focus on the integration of the alternative sources of energy, including wind power, photovoltaic, gas, biomass and energy storage for those systems. The output of many renewable generators like photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, etc. is variable dc, which requires a dc/ac conversion stage for grid connection. For other renewable generators with variable ac output, like wind or sea-wave generators, one can at first convert the variable ac to dc and then do dc-ac conversion to connect to the utility line or use a direct ac-ac conversion.
Therefore different types of power converters with a wide range of power rating are used. These power electronic converters help to utilize the energy in a more efficient way.
