Advances in Power Electronics and AI for Renewable Energy
Power electronics plays an important role in renewable power generation for achieving net zero carbon. This talk will first review the recent developments and future trends in the advanced power conversion for renewable power, including wind, solar and energy storage systems. Then, advances in power electronics such as wide-bandgap devices and applications, converter topologies and control, magnetic components, advanced design and manufacturing as well as the use of AI will be presented, which will be beneficial for improving the performance and wider adoption of renewable power generation.
