SUMMARY:ESE Seminar - "A changing grid powered by the new generations of power conversion\, control\, and energy management"
DESCRIPTION:The electric grid is undergoing a transformative paradigm shift\, driven by sweeping changes in generation\, demand\, and energy storage. By 2035\, solar PV alone is expected to supply 40% of U.S. electricity\, with substantial additional contributions from wind\, geothermal\, and hydroelectric sources—creating a renewable-dominant energy landscape. Meanwhile\, electricity demand is accelerating due to rapid growth in electric vehicle (EV) charging\, data centers\, industrial manufacturing\, and universal electrification across sectors. By 2050\, EV charging is anticipated to represent 23% of the nation’s electricity demand. Energy storage system installations are also expanding to manage the variability of renewable sources\, support dynamic loads\, and ensure grid stability. \nThis seminar will discuss the pivotal role of high power\, high voltage\, and high frequency power converters in creating a flexible\, efficient\, and resilient grid. We will examine integration challenges for 15kV-class converters within the AC grid\, as well as the opportunities these converters present for real-time voltage stabilization\, frequency regulation\, and dynamic grid management. High-bandwidth converters are key enablers of a smart\, adaptable grid\, facilitating higher renewable penetration\, dynamic load management\, and enhanced compatibility with energy storage. A few projects on grid-connected power electronics will highlight how these advancements can drive the evolution of a robust and versatile grid architecture to meet the demands of a power electronics-driven energy future.
