The move to more embedded and renewable power generation has led to the start of an increase in the dependency on power converters for the supply and stability of the future electrical energy grid. This talk will explore the applications of Power Electronics in the future grid, from the ‘last mile’ to the connection of GW off-shore wind farms. The converter topologies being developed and demonstrated for a range of applications, including HVDC, micro-grids and solid state sub-stations will explored. The challenges of deploying power converters in these power system applications will be considered and the impact on the future design, regulation and operation of the grid will be explored.
