The Essence of Solid-State Transformers
Summary: Solid-State Transformers (SSTs) are power electronic interfaces between medium-voltage AC or
DC grids and low-voltage AC or DC grids, which employ medium-frequency transformers to provide galvanic
isolation, and which offer a high degree of controllability of active and reactive power flows.
Early concepts date back to the 1970s, where research was mainly driven by the aim to reduce volume andweight of rail vehicles’ isolated AC/DC input stages. Later, possible applications in the context of Smart Grids
shifted into focus, where the main drivers were enhanced power routing functionalities of power electronicsystems compared to passive low-frequency transformers. Current megatrends, such as Smart Cities, Electric
Mobility and Clean Energy, open many new and interesting future applications for SST systems, especially inthe context of future DC microgrids or DC applications in general, e.g., datacenters, larger EV charging
facilities, DC collector grids for high-power off-shore wind parks, or even future hybrid propulsion aircraft.
After showcasing these motivators of SST research, the talk covers key concepts for the realization of SST
systems. These key concepts include the scaling of magnetic components with operating frequency, basic
isolated DC/DC converter topologies (dual active bridge, series-resonant DC transformer), multi-cellconverter structures with input-series output-parallel (ISOP) configuration to achieve modularity and highreliability through redundancy, structural options for realizing three-phase connectivity, and hybridtransformers, amongst others. Industrial SST prototype systems are discussed to illustrate their applicationin practice.
Finally, the talk concludes with an overview on recent developments in the field, such as highly compact andefficient SST systems based on 10kV SiC power semiconductors.

A Transactive Energy Approach for Energy Management in Smart Buildings
Summary: The transactive energy concept is relevant for building energy management. The GridWise
Architecture Council defines TE as “A system of economic and control mechanisms that allows the dynamicbalance of supply and demand across the entire electrical infrastructure using value as a key operationalparameter”. An architecture is described to manage several prosumers, and each one with various electricalappliances. An open IoT architecture is employed, where a centralized database records the energy data ofall electrical appliances, photovoltaic and storage systems, and environmental parameters from all
prosumers. Thus, each prosumer is connected to a home gateway, connected by means of the cloud paradigm
to a gateway manager. The architecture may enable commercial aggregators to provide services byconnecting to the gateway manager and centralized database. Each prosumer is managed by an Energy
Management System (EMS) enabling energy and cost saving while maintaining the serving of the load of theuser.

Low switching frequency modulation techniques for renewable energy multilevel
Converters
Summary: For renewable energy applications, cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters are highly

appreciated, due to reduction of switching losses obtained by the application of low frequency modulation
methods. Selective harmonic elimination (SHE) methods allow the use of low switching frequency and theelimination of certain low order harmonics maintaining the fundamental voltage at the desired level. Based on
variable terms in the non linear SHE equations, the SHE methods can be classified as:1) SHE pulse-width modulation (SHE-PWM),
2) SHE pulse-amplitude modulation (SHE-PAM).
In SHE-PWM methods only switching angles have regarded as degrees of freedom in the SHE equations. For a
fixed number of levels, more angles are required to eliminate more harmonics; consequently switchingfrequency must be increased.
In SHE-PAM technique, the value of inverter DC voltage can be considered as an additional degree of freedom;
the conventional equations are reformulated to obtain constant switching angles for a wide range ofmodulation index. In other words, the introduction of floating voltage levels contributes to effectively doubling
the number of variables.
SHE technique requires the solution of a transcendental equations system which is not deterministic for a fullrange of modulation 11iteratüre operating points. Many mathematical iterative techniques have been
proposed in the 11iteratüre. They are computationally burdensome and require a good chose of initial values.
It is difficult to converge to a solution for iterative methods and increasing the number of variables ordimensions, the possibility of divergence increases.
Based on the Groebner bases and symmetric polynomial theory, the SHE equations can be transformed to an
equivalent canonical system which consists of algebraic equations. This method has not requirement onchoosing initial values, it can find all the solutions and the solving procedure is simplified.
This talk focuses on the review of modulation techniques working at low switching frequency for renewableenergy power converters. Particular attention is given to SHE-PWM and SHE-PAM techniques, highlighting
benefits and drawbacks of each regarding total harmonic distortion (THD) of output voltage and current,
system efficiency and cost.

structural, economic and management challenges. Among the major challenges, one can note the grid
integration and the routing of this energy from the production centers to the consumption poles. The idea put
forward by the defunct DESERTECH project carries with it the seeds of a more global reflection on future major
electricity transmission system. The HVDC was thus highlighted but also the various locks accompanying it. This
presentation will focus on these new challenges: HVDC providing solutions to facilitate large scale renewable
integration but new challenges and locks they accompany it. Finally, the underlying scientific issues will be
discussed.

More Renewables, More Stable Power and More Energy Efficiency in Power Grid
Summary: One of most emerging global issues is the CO2 abatement for sustainability. The climate policies

assign great roles to the renewables and the energy efficiency, to which the Power Electronics can contributevery much as a key technology. The talk introduces recent technology trend of industrial power electronics
especially on the large capacity in the range of MW. Such technology is expected to contribute to further
promotion of the renewables and the energy efficiency.
The first topic is the power electronics for the renewables. The industrial PV inverters are introduced to show
the technology trend in the PV fields. The talk explains key technologies for realizing MW-range inverters withvery high system efficiency. Then, the talk continues on the energy storage systems, ESSs, for large-scale power
plants. The ESSs are necessary for stabilizing the power grid by managing the power and energy from therenewables. The smart control systems are also introduced which integrates the renewables, the ESSs and theloads in the power grids.
The second topic is related to the trend of digitalization. The control systems including power grid control are
now on the way where they greatly depend on the information/communication technology, ICT. The talkreminds that the ICT facilities cannot work without reliable electric power. As one of the technologies, thelatest UPS, Uninterruptible Power System, is introduced for MW range application in the large data centersfrom both viewpoints of the reliability and the energy efficiency.
The third topic is on the energy efficiency in industries. The motors consume more than half of the electricity
in the world. The motor drive by inverters is well recognized for better system efficiency in low voltage
applications. The talk notes that, for expanding the inverter drive to higher voltage applications, the inverter
technology for several kV and higher is required. Then, such technology is introduced with the high voltage
motors.
In the summary, the talk remarks that the power electronics technology is now embedded almost in everything.
Then, a concept “PEiE”, Power Electronics in Everything, is proposed, in which new values will be created bylinking the power electronics in things and will contribute to a sustainable future.

Summary: Intelligent Techniques are increasingly being used to improve efficiency and reliabilityof power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Incorporating intelligent techniques
into power networks play an important role in improving the performance and reducing theoperational cost of these networks. A number of intelligent techniques which include artificial
neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, dimensionality reduction, feature selection,clustering, reinforcement learning and deep learning techniques have been used in power
networks. Big data analytics techniques for handling power networks involving large volumes ofdata have been studied by researchers. Cloud computing for virtualization of intelligent power
networks have also been experimented by researchers. One of the challenges is to develop
intelligent systems which can evolve incrementally as new learning data becomes available.

Organizer: Prof. Dr. Halil Ibrahim BULBUL, Gazi University, Ankara/Turkey
Medine COLAK, Gazi University, Ankara/Turkey
Ayse COLAK, Cankaya University, Turkey
Selin BULBUL, Çankaya University, Ankara/Turkey
Summary: New technologies are developing very faster than before and also technologies
changed rapidly needs of people according to the use of technology. To understand the meaningof the benefits that renewable energy can bring we must firstly establish our understanding of theconcept. The future of the developed and developing countries in the world depends on theavailability and transport of energy. It can be said that the consumption of energy will continuously
grow in the near future. With renewable energy security and sustainability have become othermajor priorities to both customers and energy provider companies. Deployment of sustainable /renewable energy sources is crucial to a healthy relationship of society and the environment.
Renewable energy is also providing clean and cheap options for customer that live with friendly
and healthy environment.
Smart grids are providing good infrastructure for customer that people receive uninterrupted
service and they can query their usage easily through the systems. Many customers need to be
trained through public awareness on benefit and advantage of renewable energy. Increased publicawareness generally increases the willingness to counteract energy consumption and theacceptance of climate-friendly technologies.
Social acceptance is another important issue to increase public awareness on renewable energy.
Social acceptance is influenced by both the awareness of climate change and its impacts, and theknowledge of the renewable energy technology in question. There is an evident positive relation
between people’s awareness about climate change and its impacts, and their preparedness to act.
Apart from awareness about climate change, it is important that the public is sufficiently familiar
with the renewable energy generation technology. For new technologies, timely, complete andbalanced knowledge needs to be provided in order to raise awareness on its costs, risks andbenefits. Experience shows that potentially useful technologies will not be considered if the public
is unfamiliar with them, so that many new and existing technologies are not commonly used.
Topics include, but are not limited to: Social acceptance in renewable energy technology deployment
 Elements of social acceptance on renewable energy Improving social acceptance on renewable energy Improving behavior of costumer or public about renewable energy Increasing level of social awareness on renewable energy Educating people on benefit and advantage of renewable energy regardless of saving cost, healty and environment

Date : October 17, 2018 – 14.20-16.00 PM
Organizers: Prof. Dr. Seref SAGIROGLU, Gazi University, Turkey

Summary: Smart grid systems (SGSs) become a requirement to improve efficiency and reliability ofthe power generation, transmission, and particularly distribution systems. In order to maintain power
networks with high performance as well as reducing operational cost, utility companies need to
implement SGSs into their networks. Many smart grid initiatives leverage an increased dependency of
information and communication technologies (ICT) to integrate more accurate physical parametermeasurements and intelligent controller devices to the systems. It is well known that advancement in
ICT provides easier and fast communication capabilities to SGSs to keep different components in powersystems connected. However, the increased ICT dependency also introduces additional security risks
for utility networks using SGSs resulting from poor system configurations, poor network design andvulnerabilities in software and operating platforms, lack of security policies and standards. Big Data
Analytics also provides new perceptions and solutions to SGSs. This special session aims to bring
together researchers and developers from academia, industry and governmental institution to share andexchange novel ideas, expectations, concerns and solutions, explore the inherent challenges indeveloping more secure SGSs with the current solutions and dig data analytics and share current
experiences.

present a great potential to create more flexibility in a power grid (stationary, mobile, or embedded),
especially due to the design optimization, the optimal control with energy management and allow power
quality improvement for the power grid as well as for the loads. Energy storage systems (ESS),
including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) or electric vehicles (EV), which are connected to thecommon bus, improve performance, power reliability and efficiency of the multi-sources systems.
Whether microgrids are isolated, such as in transport applications, or integrated into the distribution
power grid or the transmission power grid, which can be AC or DC, HV or LV, high power or small
power, they play an important role in power generation management, in order to obtain a good balance
between the offer and the demand.

Tutorials 1 and 2: Integration of Large Renewable Energy Sources (Two Parts)
Date: October 14, 2018- 10.00-11.30 AM-12.00-13.00 PM
Organizers: Dr. Khaled Ahmed, University of Strathclyde, UK.

Dr. Grain P. Adam, University of Strathclyde, UK.
Summary of Part 1: As large renewable power plants tend to be located far from consumption centers,
integration of the power collected from these power plants represent a major challenge. For example, theelectrical outputs of these renewable power plants could be DC or AC voltage with magnitude and frequency
which are incompatible with that of the AC grids. Therefore, power electronic interfacing is needed to decouple
the AC grids from the power plants, control active and power exchange with AC grid, and assist renewable
power plants to ride-through different AC and DC network faults. The commercially available state-of-the-arts
high voltage direct current (HVDC) link technologies are based on voltage source converters. However, most of
the presently operational HVDC transmission systems are based on the thyristor line commutated current
source converter technology that offers low semiconductor power loss and high power density, thanks to therobustness and high current capability of the thyristor in a single wafer capsules. On the other hand, thyristors
inject significant low frequency harmonics into AC side, which must be eliminated by large passive filtering, andcannot decouple the control of reactive power from the active or dc power to be injected into the AC network.
The use of large passive components leading to large footprint systems. Self-commutated voltage source
converter HVDC transmission systems were developed to address the shortcomings associated with the line
commutated current source converter based HVDC transmission systems. The main objective of the tutorial is
to discuss the HVDC systems with the aim of clarifying different topologies advantages and disadvantages,
including the present and future challenges of HVDC systems.
