EDEY Doctoral Course: ENG - 612
Another year and another edition of the week-long doctoral course ENG-612, "Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Applications," has been successfully concluded by the Power Electronics Laboratory. The morning lectures were delivered by Prof. Drazen Dujic (EPFL) and Prof. Andrea Cervone (KU Leuven), a support during afternoon practical sessions was provided by Dr. Jules Macé, Ms. Gaia Petrillo, and Mr. Israel Yepez Lopez. For the first time, in addition to EPFL PhD students from the doctoral program in Energy (EDEY), we had participation of the PhD students from abroad, namely from KU Leuven. They had a chance to learn about digital control of power electronics converters, motivated by problems of photovoltaic renewable energy generation. Theoretical concepts were simulated and immediately implemented and validated both on the RT-HIL system and Power Electronics Teaching Setups (PETS), successfully establishing grid synchronization and power exchange typical for the grid-connected converters.
Congratulations to all participants, and all the best with the rest of your PhD studies.
