Feb. 8, 2024, 5:22 p.m., Posted by: Sonam Yadav

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.

Topics to be covered:

Contents of the workshop are given below but are not limited to:

Renewable energy grid integration and converter control techniques
Power quality enhancement techniques
Multilevel inverters and their application in a grid-connected system
Grid synchronization and control
Overview of MPPT algorithms and their implementation
Power converters for renewable energy applications
Modeling and controller design of grid-connected inverter
Datasheet interpretation of power electronic switches
Design and analysis of power converters using high-speed simulation software
Implementation and controller design of grid-connected inverters
Implementation of MPPT algorithm in grid-connected PV system
Familiarisation of test equipment for grid-connected systems
Hardware testing
