EEE department organizing International Webinar on “Controlling Megawatts with Power Electronics”

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, New Horizon College of Engineering, Bengaluru in association with IEEE PELS Student Branch Chapter of NHCE is organizing an International Webinar on “Controlling Megawatts with Power Electronics”on 11th June 2021, Friday from 05.00 PM to 06.30 PM. The objective of the programme is to bring the researchers and academic experts from reputed institutes of our country to a collective gathering for exchanging and sharing knowledge about the recent developments and research challenges in high power converters in the Megawatt range link large wind turbines with the grid, help transfer electrical power over long distances and drive large motors. To operate these converters reliably and efficiently, intelligent control algorithms are required. Particularly model predictive control is promising, because it maximizes the performance potential of such converters. This talk provides an introduction to high power electronics reviews its control challenges and proposes model predictive control methods to address them. For large electric machines, as used in wind turbines, these control methods increase the converter power and their availability. For HVDC-connected offshore windfarms, intelligent control is required to ensure reliable operation of the converter-based power grid.
