Distinguished Lecture Program on “Solid state transformers: journey from R&D to recent standard development”

IEEE Power Electronics Society NHCE Student Branch Chapter of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department, NHCE in association with IEEE PELS Bangalore Section Chapter is planning to organize a Distinguished Lecture Program on “Solid state transformers: journey from R&D to recent standard development” for the benefit of students, research scholars and faculties of NHCE and other External Institutions on 13^th December 2023 from IST 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.  The objective of this programme is solid state transformer is an emerging technology that replaces the traditional line frequency transformer with additional functions and intelligence. It has gained significant attention in the past 10 years with number of publications increased by more than 25x. Around the world, there are many on-going demonstration projects for different applications, such as smart grid integration, EV fast charger, wind and solar power conversion, etc. This lecture provides an overview of development effort of solid-state transformers, a journey starting from early-stage R&D to recent standard development effort (IEEE P3105) within IEEE power electronics society.
