Abstract:With the increasing use of power electronics technologies, the automotive and aerospace industries have brought stringent reliability constraints on power electronic converters because of safety requirements. Today customers of many power electronic products expect 20 years or more of lifetime and they also want to have a "failure-free period" and all with focus on the financials. The renewable energy sectors are also following the same trend, and more and more efforts are being devoted to improving power electronic converters to account for reliability with cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
This seminar will introduce the recent progress in the reliability aspect study of power electronic converters for renewable energy applications. It will cover the following contents: the motivations for highly reliable electric energy conversion in renewable energy systems; the reliability requirements of typical renewable energy systems and its implication on the power electronic converters; reliability analysis methods, tools, and improvement strategies of power electronic converters for renewable energy systems. A few case studies on PV and wind power based renewable energy systems will be discussed throughout the seminar. Finally, the seminar will have a brief introduction of the research activities at the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE) of Aalborg University, Denmark.
