NIT Puducherry | Workshop on Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Inverter Design and MPPT Implementation, Apply by 28th February 2024!
Overview:
Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, NIT Puducherry is inviting applications for a Workshop on Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Inverter Design and MPPT Implementation. Interested ones can apply. This workshop outlines an understanding of the operation and design of grid-connected photovoltaic inverters and their potential application areas.
Objectives:
-
This workshop tends to pose the research challenges in interfacing inverters to the electric grid.
-
This workshop also covers various control approaches for grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) inverters to improve power quality as well as enhanced power extraction.
-
Further, the modeling-photovoltaic systems, inverters, and implementation of maximum power point tracking algorithms in grid-connected systems are also focused.
-
The course participants will learn these topics through lectures and hands-on training that emphasize their knowledge of the design of GCPV inverters and their control techniques.
