SUMMARY:Connecting Power Electronics to Weak Grids
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below: \nWebinar details\nIntegrating power electronics into weak grids poses unique challenges\, including voltage stability issues\, control interactions\, and reduced grid inertia. This presentation will outline the defining characteristics of weak grids\, explore grid-forming converter technologies as a solution to improve stability and control\, and share practical insights from Australia’s Broken Hill project\, which demonstrates the application of grid-forming converters under real-world conditions. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nWeak grids create challenges for the connection of renewables\nGrid-forming solutions provide an effective alternative for power electronics control in weak grids\nKey solutions finding their way in networks around the world\, including Australia\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic is multidisciplinary and covers the Electrical engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering schools and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Circuit Breakers\, Switchgear and Power Transformers\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Power Distribution\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Electrical Power System Protection\nUndergraduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering\n52914WA Graduate Certificate in Mechatronics\nGraduate Certificate in Power System Analysis and Design\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Georgios Konstantinou \nGeorgios Konstantinou is an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications\, UNSW Sydney\, specializing in power electronics and their integration into modern power systems. His research focuses on multilevel converters\, HVDC/MVDC systems\, renewable energy integration\, real-time digital simulations\, and digital twins in power engineering. He currently leads the Real-Time Digital Simulations (RTS@UNSW) Laboratory and is an ARC Future Fellow.
