 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP TOPICS TO BE COVERED
This workshop outlines the understanding of the operation and design of grid-
connected photovoltaic inverters and their potential application areas. This Contents of the workshop are given below but are not limited to:
workshop tends to pose the research challenges in interfacing inverters to the ➢ Renewable energy grid integration and converter control techniques
electric grid. This workshop also covers various control approaches for grid- ➢ Power quality enhancement techniques
connected photovoltaic (GCPV) inverters to improve power quality as well as ➢ Multilevel inverters and their application in a grid-connected system
enhanced power extraction. Further, the modelling of solar photovoltaic systems, ➢ Grid synchronization and control
inverters, and implementation of maximum power point tracking algorithms in grid- ➢ Overview of MPPT algorithms and its implementation
connected systems is also focused. The course participants will learn these topics ➢ Power converters for renewable energy applications
through lectures and hands-on training that emphasize their knowledge of the design
➢ Modelling and controller design of grid-connected inverter
of GCPV inverters and their control techniques.
➢ Datasheet interpretation of power electronic switches
➢ Design and analysis of power converters using high-speed simulation software
➢ Implementation and controller design of grid-connected inverters
