With rapid improvements in the performance-per-dollar of digitally controlled high-power-grid-tied inverters and converters, designers would be wise to examine their choice of power electronics transistors and circuit topologies. Join us for a fast paced overview of modern and emerging trends in smart grid power electronics and take away the following:
- Learn the latest circuit design topologies that are currently available
- Discover new strategies for minimizing the number of switching devices and still achieving the required performance and energy efficiency
- Examine the tradeoffs between hard-switching and soft-switching alternatives
- Analyze the emerging option of high efficiency Silicon-Carbide (SiC) power MOSFETS and understand their benefits, selection criteria and related design considerations
- Optimize the performance of a chosen circuit design through FPGA-based advanced digital control techniques
- Get an update on the new current and voltage sensing technologies available
