lAffiliation: Aalborg University, Denmark

lHosted by: School of Electrical Engineering and Automation;Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Renewable Energy Utilization and Energy Conservation

lPresentation Overview:

Traditional fossil fuel-based energy technology is being replaced by clean energy technologies, such as wind and PV generators, green hydrogen electrolysis, heat pumps and various storages, etc. Power systems are in transition towards renewable energy-based power systems, where large-scale power electronics are used, including renewable power generator interfaces, HVDC and FACTS devices, active distribution systems, and prosumers. A new power system is emerging and has been developing towards a clean, sustainable energy system.

The presentation will briefly introduce the statutes of modern renewable power generation technologies, wind power, and solar PVs, and describe the features and challenges associated with the large-scale utilization of renewable power sources and power electronic technologies, in particular, power system flexibility and power system protections.
