SUMMARY:Monthly CURENT Industry Seminar\, Thursday\, August 6 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ruirui Chen of the University of Tennessee will present a seminar on the topic\, “Medium Voltage Power Converter Development for Grid Applications Using 10 kV SiC MOSFETS.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:  The 10 kV SiC MOSFET is an emerging wide-bandgap power semiconductor technology that has attracted increasing attention for medium voltage (MV) applications. Compared with Si IGBT based MV converter counterparts\, the 10 kV SiC device based MV converters offer substantially higher efficiency\, increased power density\, wider control bandwidth\, as well as simplified converter topologies and control strategies. This talk will provide an overview of the characteristics and advantages of 10 kV SiC MOSFETs for grid applications. It will also present case studies on the development of 10 kV SiC MOSFETs based MV converters for 13.8 kV grids\, highlighting key design considerations\, experimental validation\, and application potential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography:  Dr. Ruirui Chen is a Research Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, USA. His research interests include wide bandgap devices and applications\, medium voltage power electronics\, cryogenic power electronics\, multilevel converters\, and high power high density converters and circuit breakers for electrified transportation and grid applications. He has authored or co-authored one book\, one book chapter\, and >80 IEEE journal and conference papers. His work has been recognized with two prize paper awards from the IEEE Power Electronics Society and the IEEE Industry Applications Society. He also received the outstanding reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics\, the star reviewer for IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics\, and recognized Top 2% Scientists on the Stanford-Elsevier’s list.

SUMMARY:Seminar with Dr. Ronghai Qu of Huazhong University\, Friday\, July 24 in MK 124\, Noon until 1 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Qu will present a seminar titled\, “Principles\, Development\, Applications\, and Challenges of Flux Modulation Machines.” \nAbstract: Flux modulation (FM) machines exploit multiple flux density harmonics to enhance torque density\, and have thus drawn growing research interest due to their high torque capability and quality. This presentation first reviews their fundamental operating principles and typical topologies. It then introduces the concept of airgap flux editing as a means to maximize flux utilization\, which offers a fresh perspective for investigating the theoretical torque‑density upper bound. Finally\, practical application scenarios\, inherent limitations\, and key technical challenges are also discussed. \n*Pizza and soft drinks will be served at this event.

SUMMARY:2024 Mini-workshop on Power System Simulation
DESCRIPTION:  \nMin Kao Building\, Room 124\, The University of Tennessee \n  \nAugust 14th\, 2024 (Wednesday) 10am to 1:30 pm  \n  \n\n\n\n10:00-10:05\nWelcome – Fran Li & Kai Sun\n\n\n10:05-11:05\nRepresenting distribution systems in transmission system transient stability studies – Qiuhua Huang (Colorado School of Mines)\n\n\n11:05-12:05\nThe Philosophy of Co-simulation – Philip Top (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)\n\n\n12:05-1:00\nCenter Overview – Fran Li \nBoxed lunch – All\n\n\n1:00-1:30\nCURENT Testbed Demonstration – Jingxin Wang & Jinning Wang\n\n\n1:30\nAdjourn\n\n\n\n  \nAbstracts: \nRepresenting distribution systems in transmission system transient stability studies \nDistribution systems are physically connected to and interact with transmission systems. Traditionally\, due to grid operation practices\, model complexity\, and data availability issues\, distribution and transmission systems are often simulated or analyzed separately or in a decoupled manner. As the primary components (i.e.\, demand and generation) of distribution systems\, along with their dynamic and transient behaviors\, evolve over time\, their representations in transmission system-level studies must also adapt. This tutorial will first review typical representations and modeling of distribution systems in bulk power system transient stability studies. We will analyze gaps in some of these representations and explore recent efforts to improve them\, followed by future directions. \n  \nThe Philosophy of Co-simulation \nCo-simulation is a simulation technique in which two or more independent simulations are coupled together to analyze a complex system.  While the concept of co-simulation is straightforward\, the complexity of any instantiation often lies in the details and design philosophy used in the development.  This talk will explore the philosophical principles used in the design of HELICS a co-simulation library\, how they came about and how those principles played out the development of the software.   HELICS(Hierarchical Engine for large scale infrastructure co-simulation) is a result of joint effort from several national labs to unify and simplify the use of co-simulation.  It is an open-source software library and associated tools to enable co-simulation.
