Summary:
Modern distribution grids are facing significant challenges, such as the need to integrate massive amounts of renewables, storage, electric vehicles and additional distributed energy resources in the low and medium voltage distribution grid. This webinar describes novel power electronics solutions, based on multiport converters, to face these challenges. These solutions have been investigated in the Horizon Europe project iPLUG, that worked on both system-level aspects and detailed power electronics innovative solutions for low and medium-voltage applications. In the webinar, the system design is addressed, including concept definition, specification, sizing and operation optimization. Furthermore, their modelling and control strategies for multiport converters in LV and MV grids will be described.
