Dr Qing-Chang Zhong

Next-Generation Smart Grids: Power Electronics-enabled Autonomous Power Systems

Power systems are going through a paradigm change. A lateral system architecture and two technical routes will be presented to empower the power electronic converters existing in non-synchronous distributed generators and flexible loads to behave like virtual synchronous machines so that they can all actively regulate system frequency and voltage.

SEMIKRON, OPAL-RT and NI

Live Demo: Design, Test and Deploy a Grid Tied Inverter in Sixty Minutes

In this action packed session, you'll be a live witness to the entire development process for a grid tied inverter. We'll take Dr. Qing-Chang Zhong's latest IP from IEEE paper to working Semikron grid tied inverter. Learn to master the NI power electronics tool chain from co-simulation, to rapid prototype, to deployment & HIL test using Opal-RT.

Viewpoint Systems

Active Front End Power Conversion! What? When? How?

Active Front End (AFE) power conversion can be a mystical technology. It promises lower harmonics, better DC bus regulation, and higher efficiency. But what is it really? Explore this technology and how you can use the NI Single-Board RIO General-Purpose Inverter Controller (GPIC) to control these devices.

SEMIKRON

A Primer on Silicon Carbide in Power Converters

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a buzzword in power electronics. Explore the basics of SiC: production, implementation, and the advantages and disadvantages for anyone interested in implementing high-speed switching in power converters. View a design example and available products for fast converter implementation.

10:30-11:30 am

National Instruments

Isolated Battery Charging Through Dual Active Bridges

Grid-tied energy storage systems are rapidly becoming popular due to the rise of distributed power generation such as photovoltaic arrays. A dual active bridge topology provides for bidirectional power transfer and isolation between the grid and the battery. This presentation will investigate controlling a DAB using the NI GPIC platform.

1:00-2:00 pm

OPAL-RT

A Smarter Grid Needs Smarter Test

As digital control systems on the grid become more prevalent and more intelligent, more thorough test is required to insure the safety and compliance of the devices being deployed. A physical test bench or a few deployed test systems is no longer enough to guarantee product stability. Real-world use cases are used to illustrate this.

2:15-3:15 pm

Oak Ridge National Lab, NextEra

Wind Turbine Control: When can you trust your simulation model?

Do control engineers put too much trust in the Park and Clarke transforms? The vector relationships between balanced three phase power are the basis for traditional control algorithms and models of wind turbine generators. Can they be trusted? Under what conditions? We compared experimental results and FPGA simulation models to find out.

3:30-4:30 pm

(15:30-16:30)
