Reliability of Power Electronic based Power Systems (PEPS) (2024)

Organizers: Saeed Peyghami, Associate Professor , Aalborg University

Lecturers: Saeed Peyghami, Associate Professor , Aalborg University

ECTS: 3

Date/Time: 27 - 29 May  2024: 3-day lecture

Deadline: 06 May 2024

Max no. of participants: 30

Place: AAU Energy, Pontoppidanstraede 101, Aalborg, Denmark

Format: Hybrid

Description: Modern power electric based power systems (PEPS) are facing new challenges in terms of reliable planning and operation due to proliferation of power electronic converters. The course is aimed at providing an in-depth introduction to the reliability modeling, assessment, and enhancement approaches in PEPS. The basic principles of reliability evaluation along with their application, current practices and solution methods in PEPS will be discussed.

Benefits of Participants:

• Understanding the fundamental of PEPS reliability engineering
• Exposure to probabilistic technique applications to PEPS problems
• Bridging the reliability concepts of power electronics and power systems

Intended Audience:

• Power engineers, graduate students and researchers in utilities and universities

2. Structural reliability and stress strength analysis
3. Introduction to converter reliability prediction
4. Impacts of converter control on PEPS reliability
5. Reliability modeling in PEPS
6. Model-based design for reliability in PEPS
7. Model-based maintenance scheduling in PPES
8. Reliability enhancement in PEPS
9. Challenges and opportunities

Prerequisites: Pre-reading the shared materials

Price:  6000 DKK for PhD students outside of Denmark and 8000 DKK for the Industry excl. VAT.
A link for online payment by credit card for externals participants will be annonced after deadline for registration

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 3000 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 four 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
