【讲座内容】From a wide historical perspective, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been applied in Power Electronics (PE) for decades. For many years, though, it has been confined to specific tasks within the life cycle of PE systems, be it for accelerating some design tasks, optimizing control performance, or ensuring safe operation and fault tolerance, among others. In most cases, it was an auxiliary tool to complement expert PE engineers. However, in today’s world, complexity of PE systems is dramatically growing, their requirements are increasingly demanding and often conflicting, reducing time to market is a must for companies to survive, and, last but not least, there is a shortage of talented electrical engineers in general, and PE engineers in particular, as other professional careers are more attractive for younger generations. In this context, AI is emerging as a powerful solution for the whole PE design cycle, from system- to converter- to PCB- and component-level. This is being made efficiently feasible thanks to the recent and continuous advancements in physics-informed and generative AI. After an introduction addressing these issues, this talk will describe practical cases of AI applications in PE, from classical solutions to new paradigms aiming at autonomous and ethical AI-based PE design.

【讲座内容】With the widespread integration of renewable distributed energy sources such as wind generation, photovoltaic and solar panels, a traditional electrical network has been experiencing a huge revolution towards a smart grid in various terms of generation, transmission, distribution and usage, and so on. Such a revolution poses new theoretical and technical challenges in operation and management of smart grids. To address these challenges, a multi-agent system-based strategy is developed to address control and optimization issues in smart grids, showcasing its strong ability in improving efficiency, reliability and scalability. In this keynote talk, some backgrounds on smart grids from the perspective of multi-agent systems are introduced. Second, a distributed secondary control scheme with an event-triggered communication mechanism is presented to ensure frequency regulation and active power sharing of AC islanded microgrids while significantly reducing the utilization of communication resources. Third, a multi-objective distributed optimization method is provided to address current sharing and voltage regulation in DC microgrids. Finally, some challenging issues are discussed for future investigation.

【讲座内容】Cyber-physical systems (CPS) can be described as smart systems that encompass computational (i.e., hardware and software) and physical components, seamlessly integrated and closely interacting to sense and manipulate the changing state of the real world. Modern smart grid, as a typical CPS, allows plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to be a promising candidate for grid services. Model predictive control (MPC) is a promising paradigm for high-performance and cost-effective control of complex CPS. In this talk, following the CPS design approach, a novel framework for the local aggregator to estimate the charging status and solve for the charging control signals for PHEVs will be presented. The physical battery charging is executed by charging stalls, where charging information is processed in the embedded system and only the generated index information is transmitted to the aggregator via Internet. An aggregation model is developed for the entire cyberspace to inherently guarantee heterogeneous charging requirements. Furthermore, a nonlinear MPC (NMPC) scheme is introduced for achieving the overnight valley-filling service. Finally, some existing challenges and future research directions will be discussed.

【讲座内容】 The principle of electrical machines has been known for at least 500 years with the first electrostatic machines invented around 1600. The first electromagnetic machines have been imagined later in the 17th century after the discovery of the electromagnetism principle. However, it has been necessary to wait up to the end of the 19th century to have rotating electrical machines structures close to what they are nowadays. Basically, the presentation starts from classical electrical machines which can be manufactured by using steel, copper and sometime aluminum with other insulating materials and parts which are used for the assembly (case, shaft, bearings, fan and more). Then, the presentation moves towards future trends based on high efficiency AC electrical machines, nano-actuators, very high speeds and very low speeds motors/generators and special electrical machines for embedded systems and emergency applications.
