Power Electronics for Green Transition (2022)

Power Electronics for Green Transition (PEGT)

Power electronics play an underpinning role in green transition in a wide range of applications and it is the main energy processing unit in e-transportation, renewable energies, power to gas systems, electric power grid applications, motor drives, etc., and are becoming the key elements of the green transition. This summer school aims to give hands-on experience on different fundamental and technical aspects of power electronics engineering from design to operation and from the device level up to the power-system level in several applications, including e-transportation, renewable energies, energy storage, power grid applications, and microgrids. This year, the school is planned from August 22nd to 26th 2022 (from Monday to Friday). More info at www.energy.aau.dk/pegt (available soon).

Targeted participants are Ph.D. candidates, PostDocs, and industrial engineers.

The summer school will feature:

• An opening speech, given by Prof. Frede Blaabjerg;

• A series of sixteen 45-min long lectures (total ~12 hours of theory), given by experts in renewable energy from both AAU Energy and other universities/industrial companies;

• Three inspiring invited talks given by experts from the industry;

• Four 6-hours long practice sessions, hosted at the PV- and the Reliability Laboratory at AAU energy;

• A City-walk event through Aalborg downtown;

• An excursion to the wind turbine test center in Thy (Denmark’s west coast);

The fee per person includes:
