He is currently serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, and as a Co-Editor-in-Chief of WSEAS Transactions on Advances in Engineering Education.

Speech Title: SWITCHED-CAPACITOR POWER ELECTRONICS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATIONS

Abstract: the switched-capacitor-based energy conversion history and principles will be revisited. Still on-going misunderstandings will be explained. Common ground switched capacitor multilevel inverters will be thoroughly discussed in the light of the requirements imposed by photovoltaics when used as energy sources. The limits of the state-of-the-art solutions will be shown. Further directions of the research to meet the challenges imposed on the power electronics used as the front end of the electrical grid supplied by renewable energy will be presented.

 

The Keynote Speaker will continue to be updated.
