KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

FRED C. LEE

KEYNOTE TITLE

“EVOLUTION OF POWER

ELECTRONICS: PAST,

PRESENT AND FUTURE”

BIO:

Dr. Lee is a University Distinguished

Professor Emeritus at Virginia Tech.

He is a member of the U.S. National

Academy of Engineering, an

academician of Taiwan’s Academia

Sinica, a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of

Engineering, China, and a fellow of the US National Academy

of Inventor. Dr. Lee has supervised to completion 85 Ph.D. and

89 M.S. students. He holds 84 US patents, and has published

over 290 journal articles and more than 700 refereed technical

papers. His research interests include high-frequency power

conversion, magnetics and EMI, distributed power systems,

renewable energy, power quality, high-density electronics

packaging and integration, and modeling and control. Dr. Lee

is a recipient of the 2015 IEEE Medal in Power Engineering “for

contributions to power electronics, especially high-frequency

power conversion."

DIGEST:

In today’s power electronics products, quality and reliability

are given. Greater emphases are placed on high efficiency,

high power density and low cost. The current design and

manufacturing practice have reached a level of maturity that

further advances will be closely linked to improvement in


power devices, materials, and fabrication techniques. It is

evident that we have witnessed significant improvement in

the integration of power devices, drivers, sensing and control,

in a form of “Intelligent Power Module (IPM)” in motor drives

and “Dr.MOS” in power supplies for point-of load applications.

The major road blocks for further improvement is hinged on

the ability to integration large and bulky passive components

in a form suitable for automation. Today’s design practice for

magnetic components remains largely the same for the past

five decades. With recent advances in wide-band-gap (WBG)

power semiconductor devices, namely, SiC and GaN, we have

witnessed significant improvements in efficiency and power

density compared to the current practice using silicon

counterparts. With the capability to increase its operating

frequency by an order of magnitude, current design practices

are challenged. Integration of magnetic components with

embedded windings in PCB are possible for a wide range of

applications. Design trade-off previously considered

impractical or inconceivable can be realized not only with

significant gain in efficiency and power density, but also

drastic improvement of EMI/EMC and manufacturability.

Several examples will be given to illustrate the potential

impact mentioned above. The opportunities for us to develop

the next generation of power supplies are real. Such a change

cannot take place quickly without our willingness to step

outside our comfort zone and embrace the changes.

DIGEST: The steady growth of the installed wind power, will reach 600 GW

capacity in 2019, together with the up-scaling of the single wind

turbine power capability - 12 MW’s are announced by

manufacturers, has pushed the research and development of

power converters towards full scale power conversion, lower cost

pr kW, higher power density and need for a higher reliability.

Substantial efforts are carried out to comply with the more

stringent grid codes, especially grid faults ride-through and

reactive power injection, which challenges the power converter

topologies, because the need for crowbar protection and/or

power converter over-rating has been seen in the past in the case

of a doubly-fed induction generator. The presentation will first

give a technology overview. Next power converter technologies

are reviewed with focus on single/multi-cell power converter

topologies. Further - case studies on the Low Voltage Ride

Through demand to power converter are presented including a

discussion on reliability. Finally, discussions about topologies for

wind farms will be provided where they need to be operating like

large power plants like a large synchronous generator.

DIGEST: Power-electronics control and modeling have gone through

fundamental shift in its approach with time slowly but surely

replacing reduced-order-manifold-based approaches advocated

and proposed by Middlebrook and others decades back. With the

advent and technological advancements of embedded processors,

PMICs, VLSI, and scientific advancements in multi-objective

optimization, stability theory, hybrid systems, and

communication and information theory, radically new multi-scale

spatio-temporal approaches are being developed and

implemented that are showing unprecedented promise for

societal use across plurality of applications and energy

sustainability, and changing the mindset regarding the control

and modeling of such hybrid dynamical switching-power systems.

At the actuation level, the advent of rapid switching wide-

bandgap devices is enabling the accelerated penetration of such

next generation controls across plurality of voltage and power

levels encompassing radically improved, new, and complex

power-electronic systems and networks. This keynote talk will

provide some insights as to how and what radically new ideas may

need to be synthesized that reach far beyond historical and

conventional power-electronic control needs with applications

including but not limited to sustainable-energy systems and

energy sustainability.

conversion, that enables the calculation of novel continuous

power models for 2-port and n-port converters. This

methodology also enables the synthesis of specific power

topologies to operate in the fundamental limit of power

processing called "Differential Power”. Key applications are

stacking of sources (PV cells), loads (data processing cores) or

batteries. “Partial power” configurations may also be assessed

with the “differential power” approach. The “HW impact factor”

is described as the method to decide how to process the

differential power. Even more relevant is the case of energy

buffered converters, as those required in single-phase inverters

connected to domestic batteries/PV panels or those required in

AC adaptors and chargers with Power Factor Correction. The

methodology is illustrated for the “Little Box Challenge” (Google

and IEEE-PELS) specification. The differential power is calculated

and compared with the “indirect” power processed by the main

alternative architectures.

converters has been based on the principle of mean value, using

pulse width modulation with linear controllers in a cascaded

structure. Recent research works have demonstrated that it is

possible to use Predictive Control to control electrical energy with

the use of power converters, without using modulators and linear

controllers. This is a new approach that will have a strong impact

on control in power electronics in coming decades. The main

advantages of predictive control are:

1. Concepts are very intuitive and easy to understand 2. It can be applied to a great variety of systems. 3. The multivariable case can be easily control led. 4. Easy inclusion of dead-times and other non-linearities. 5. Easy implementation of control law. 6.

Dr. Lee is a recipient of the 2015 IEEE Medal in Power Engineering “for contributions to power electronics, especially high-frequency power conversion."


DIGEST: In today’s power electronics products, quality and reliability are given. Greater emphases are placed on high efficiency, high power density and low cost. The current design and manufacturing practice have reached a level of maturity that further advances will be closely linked to improvement in power devices, materials, and fabrication techniques. It is evident that we have witnessed significant improvement in the integration of power devices, drivers, sensing and control, in a form of “Intelligent Power Module (IPM)” in motor drives and “Dr.MOS” in power supplies for point-of load applications. The major road blocks for further improvement is hinged on the ability to integration large and bulky passive components in a form suitable for automation. Today’s design practice for magnetic components remains largely the same for the past five decades. With recent advances in wide-band-gap (WBG) power semiconductor devices, namely, SiC and GaN, we have witnessed significant improvements in efficiency and power density compared to the current practice using silicon counterparts. With the capability to increase its operating frequency by an order of magnitude, current design practices are challenged. Integration of magnetic components with embedded windings in PCB are possible for a wide range of applications. Design trade-off previously considered impractical or inconceivable can be realized not only with significant gain in efficiency and power density, but also drastic improvement of EMI/EMC and manufacturability. Several examples will be given to illustrate the potential impact mentioned above. The opportunities for us to develop the next generation of power supplies are real. Such a change cannot take place quickly without our willingness to step outside our comfort zone and embrace the changes.

DIGEST: The energy paradigms in many countries (e.g., Germany and Denmark) have experienced a significant change from fossil-based resources to clean renewables (e.g., wind turbines and photovoltaics) in the past few decades. The scenario of highly penetrated renewables is going to be further enhanced– Denmark expects to be 100 percent fossil-free by 2050. Consequently, it is required that the production, distribution and use of the energy should be as technologically efficient as possible and incentives to save energy at the end-user should also be strengthened. In order to realize the transition smoothly and effectively, energy conversion systems, currently based on power electronics technology, will again play an essential role in this energy paradigm shift. Using highly efficient power electronics in power generation, power transmission/distribution and end-user application, together with advanced control solutions, can pave the way for renewable energies. In light of this, some of the most emerging renewable energies — , e.g., wind energy and photovoltaic, which by means of power electronics are changing character as a major part in the electricity generation —, are explored in this paper. Issues like technology development, implementation, power converter technologies, control of the systems, and synchronization are addressed. Special focuses are paid on the future trends in power electronics for those systems like how to lower the cost of energy and to develop emerging power devices and better reliability tool.

He is a fellow of Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE). He has published more than 350 refereed papers in journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Chang has focused on research, development, demonstration and deployment of renewable energy based distributed generation systems and direct load control systems.

DIGEST: In recent years, penetration of renewable energy in power systems has been increasing in response to growing global energy demand and concerns for the environment. Distributed energy resources (DER) based on renewables have experienced rapid


growth over the past decades due to their abundance and low emissions. The intermittent nature of renewable resources presents challenges to power systems, impacting on grid reliability, flexibility, affordability and power quality. High penetration of renewable DERs demands more system resources. Standards have been updated for grid interconnection of DER inverters to furnish with additional power system support functions. Power electronics technologies enable these additional functionalities, enhance performance and value-added services from DERs. This seminar first introduces the initiative from the IEEE Power Electronics Society for the development of International Technology Roadmap of Power Electronics for Distributed Energy Systems (ITRD) and then provides an overview of the power system support functions from renewable-based DER inverters. These functions are classified as: voltage regulation by active/reactive power control, frequency regulation by active power control, voltage ride-through, frequency ride-through, and other system support functions. The algorithms for the power system support functions are presented, the benefits and drawbacks of each algorithm are compared with its predecessor, manifesting underlying logic in the evolution of the algorithms. An actual power system in a Caribbean country is used as an example in the case study, where these system support functions are embedded in photovoltaic systems to help achieve the goal of 100% renewables in the country by 2030. The benefits for power system operation are demonstrated through simulation studies using the utility-grade software package of CYME. Index Terms—Distributed energy resources, inverters, power system support functions, renewable energy.

For the first time in history, most of the world population live in urban areas, instead of rural areas. Hence, increasing the efficiency of the usage of resources in cities became of paramount importance. Therefore, the discipline of building smart cities in green fields, or adding smartness to old cities, is gaining momentum. Different standardization organizations are working in putting standards for building and the operations of smart cities. In Egypt, large new cities, including a new capital, are built based on smart cities ideas. In this rap session, different parties from regulator, academia, and industry are discussing how renewable energy can fit in the big picture of smart cities.

25 Oct. 2019 15:30-16:45

Introduction

Electric mobility has gained attention as a strategy to 1) mitigate GHG emissions; 2) improve air quality; 3) decrease petroleum dependency and; 4) boost energy security in the context of increasing world-wide vehicle demand.

Transport is a major energy consumer and among the largest sources of GHG emissions. It is also one of the principal sources of urban air pollution, which impacts the local environment and human health. International trends signal that ownership of passenger vehicles will continue to grow in the coming decades. Despite the many uncertainties about the future of electric vehicles, governments and car manufacturers are increasingly moving forward. The Government of Egypt, as a front runner in the region has announced a number of recent initiatives. The Electricity and Energy Council as one of the Strategic arms for Academy of Scientific Research and Technology is currently doing a roadmap for the E-mobility future in Egypt, barriers, challenges and opportunities. Therefore, we would like to invite al research and industry to join us this session to discuss these aspects.
