Topic:	Design and Development of a 5 kVA Transformer-less Single Phase Grid Connected PV System using SiC devices
Venue:	To be decided

Abstract:	With the depleting conventional resources like coal, various alternative sources like solar have been explored. Utility-scaled large PV plants have already been setup and many more such plants are coming up. Rooftop solar systems which can cater to the household demand and supply to the grid are also being encouraged. With this perspective, an efficient and reliable 5kVA grid connected transformer-less multistage PV inverter system has been worked upon in this project. The key features of this multistage system are multilevel inverter and converter with low THD, low leakage current and high efficiency. SiC devices have been used to achieve better reliability and higher efficiency. Besides, this system can be extended into a hybrid system with both a grid connected mode and standalone mode with battery integration in the future. Keywords: Transformer-less Grid connected multistage PV inverter system, multilevel inverter and converter, low THD, low leakage current, high efficiency, SiC devices.

Abstract:	With the number of HVDC links embedded in AC systems on the rise, studying their effects on the overall dynamics of the system becomes very crucial. Hybrid simulation is one way proposed in literature to analyze a fairly complex phenomena of commutation failure in case of a thyristor based HVDC link.

Pre-Requisite:	None
Abstract:	AC and DC power systems has its own technical and economical advantages. What if we can make full use of the advantages of both the systems? Multi-frequency system is the answer. It's a superposed system that connects sources of different frequencies to loads of different frequencies through a single line.

Pre-Requisite:	None
Abstract:	The concept of rooftop solar photo-voltaic systems is not new. The idea is very popular in academia as well as industry. But designing a practical rooftop PV system is not an easy task. The talk will address some important aspects of implementing a rooftop solar PV system - What are the considerations behind designing and sizing of panels? How are the issues in installation and integration tackled? What are the standards governing production and installation of commercial PV systems? A design example using PVsyst software will be demonstrated.

Abstract:	The power system of the ISS is based on DC power, fed by solar panels with batteries as storage units and integrates a large number of loads. These entities (sources, storages and loads) are all interfaced to the DC bus through power electronic converters. One major concern which arises when these entities are integrated to the bus is the problem of stability of the DC bus. To appreciate the enormity of this issue, the ISS case study is chosen so that we get a practical insight. Bode plots and Nyquist plots will be used as tools to study the instability phenomenon.
