SUMMARY:Enabling Decarbonisation Technologies with Power Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. Josep POU\nSchool of Electrical & Electronic Engineering\,\nNanyang Technological University (NTU)\, Singapore \nAbstract\nThis presentation will introduce some of the research developed in the Power Electronics and Applications Research Lab at NTU (PEARL@NTU). The target is to facilitate large-scale integration of renewables into the grid. This includes the design of control strategies to make solar inverters more friendly with the grid by alleviating intermittency and providing power reserve\, a multilevel-converter-based battery energy storage system that enables the use of second-life batteries for grid applications\, and a reactive power static compensator (STATCOM) that can operate with very small capacitances. The talk will also introduce the Rolls-Royce @ NTU Corporate Lab\, where future aerospace transportation technologies are designed. \nBiography of the Speaker\nProf. Josep POU received the B.S.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC)-Barcelona Tech\, Spain. In 1990\, he joined the faculty of UPC as an Assistant Professor\, where he became an Associate Professor in 1993. From February 2013 to August 2016\, he was a Professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW)\, Australia. He is currently a Professor at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU)\, Singapore\, where he is a Cluster Director of Power Electronics at the Energy Research Institute at NTU (ERI@N) and co-Director of the Rolls-Royce @ NTU Corporate Lab. He spent two years as a visiting professor in the Center for Power Electronics Systems\, Virginia Tech\, USA\, and one year in the Australian Energy Research Institute\, UNSW\, Australia. He has authored 477 published technical papers and is a co-inventor of 8 patents. His research interests include power electronics\, renewable energy\, energy storage\, power quality\, HVDC transmission\, and transportation electrification. \nHe is an IEEE Fellow. He is Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics. He was co-Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. He received the 2018 IEEE Bimal Bose Award for Industrial Electronics Applications in Energy Systems. \nAll are welcome!
