Content

This module gives an overview about power electronics needed for the energy transition and system stability aspects in
converter-dominated grids
Table of contents:

  • Renewable Energy Transformation Scenarios
  • Need for Power Electronics
  • Single-phase and three-phase PV inverters
  • PV systems aspects, PV power plant concepts
  • Battery storage integration
  • Wind energy converters
  • Grid-integration and power system stability with grid-forming converters
  • Sustainability aspects of power electronics
Recommendations Basic knowledge in the field of electrical components (semiconductors, inductors, capacitors) is helpful.
Additional Informations
