Divan教授长期致力于电力电子、智能电网和电力系统分布式控制领域研究，带领的科研团队在“电力电子软开关技术”和“分布式实时网格控制技术”等领域开展了一系列理论研究和产品研制工作，取得的一批创新科技成果受到美国公共事业部门和工业生产部门的大力支持。先后创办四家企业，获得著名投资者Bill Gates和风投公司Khosla Ventures出资支持，共计筹集超过1亿6千万美元资助。

简介：分布式能源、微电网的快速增长以及发电侧和负荷侧间动态平衡需求，推动了电力变换器分布式实时控制技术的发展。从集中控制向大规模分散和分布式控制的转变是发展分布式实时控制技术的严峻挑战之一，主要表现在变换器及其控制策略、管理运行的架构设计和基础设施等研究难点上。本次报告将讨论用于管理未来电网的电力变换器拓扑结构、控制策略和系统架构等方面，重点内容包括混合变压器、固态变压器和其他通用变换器等技术，以及介绍适用于未来电网设备管理的电网整合策略。

Topic：Power Electronics and Distributed Control for the Future Grid

Time：10am-12am，10th，June

Venue：3-217，West Building

Speaker：Prof Deepak Divan, Center for Distributed Energy, Georgia Tech

Deepak Divan is NAE member, past President of the IEEE Power Electronics Society and IEEE Fellow. He is now Director of the Center for Distributed Energy at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. He is a prominent expert in the field of power electronics and is the inventor of power electronics soft-switch technology. He is also a recipient of the IEEE William E Newell Field Medal.

His field of research is in the areas of power electronics, power systems, smart grids and distributed control of power systems. His research team have carried out many influential researches in power electronics soft-switch technology and distributed online grid control technology. They have achieved many innovative technologies gaining great support from public utilities and industrial production departments in the United States. He has founded four companies and received funding support from well-known investor Bill Gates and venture capital firm Khosla Ventures. His team has raised more than $160 million funding.

Brief：The requirement for distributed real-time control in the future grid using power converters is being driven by rapid growth in distributed energy resources, microgrids and the need for dynamic real-time balancing between generation and loads. The move from centralized control to massively decentralized and distributed control raises further challenges, both in terms of the converters and feasible control strategies, as well as the architecture and infrastructure required to manage and operate such a system. This presentation will discuss power converter topologies, control strategies and system architecture for managing such a future grid and related loads. Key topics include hybrid transformers, solid state transformers and universal converters for a variety of applications, and grid integration strategies for managing a fleet of such devices to deliver value for the future and present grid.
