Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Systems (PERES) (2013)

Description:
The purpose of this course is to learn about the grid converters topology and control in the areas of Photovoltaics and Wind Power Systems which account for the vast majority of renewable energy grid integration worldwide. The content of this course is now available in the form of the book Grid Converters for Photovoltaic and Wind Power Systems, ISBN-10: 0-470-05751-3, Wiley.
After the course the students should:
• Have knowledge about topologies for PV and WT grid inverters;
• Have knowledge of current control and harmonic compensation using resonant controllers;
• Have knowledge of the inverter hardware design, grid filter design, stability impact, robust monitoring and the synchronization methods able to accurately track the positive sequence;
• Be familiar with the control structures in synchronous and stationary coordinate frames which are able to control both positive and negative current sequence;
• Have knowledge about power injection strategies during faults;

Important information concerning PhD courses
We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
