Prospective participants are invited to submit an extended abstract of their original work. The topics included but not limited to:
Track 1: Power Electronics for Sustainable Energies
- New power converters and controls for wind, solar PV, CHP, wave and tidal, and fuel cell.
- High efficiency power conversion for sustainable sources: efficiency improvements using new topologies, WBG power semiconductor devices and magnetic materials.
- Grid integration using solid state transformers, and medium voltage DC distribution.
- Islanding detection, protection and standards of DG systems.
Track 2: Energy Storage Systems
- Power electronics for battery, super capacitor, and hybrid energy storage systems.
- Power electronics for charging and operation of electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
