SUMMARY:EE faculty colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Title: Power Electronics – A Technology Enabler for a Carbon-free Energy Pathway\nSpeaker: Dr. Vinod John\, Dept. of Electrical Engineering\, Indian Institute of Science\nVenue: MMCR\, EE\n            Meeting Link  (for online audience)\nTime: 4 pm\, 21 Feb 2024\n\nAbstract:\nPower electronics technologies play a pivotal role in efficiently transferring electrical energy from sources and storage elements to loads while minimizing power losses. These technologies are critical for optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources\, enhancing the efficiency of storage systems\, and reducing energy wastage—all of which are essential in the global effort to achieve minimal CO₂ emissions. In this talk\, I will begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of power electronics\, highlighting key research challenges and discussing solutions developed in the Power Electronics Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering\, IISc. Specific focus areas include power converters\, switching devices\, input and output filtering components\, and the control of power conversion systems. I will try to summarize the research efforts over time and indicate a few practical applications of power electronics in real-world scenarios.\n\nSpeaker’s Bio:\nDr. Vinod John is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc)\, Bengaluru. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and subsequently worked at GE Research\, New York\, and Northern Power Systems\, Vermont\, before joining IISc. His research interests encompass\npower electronics\, switched-mode power conversion\, distributed energy resources\, and energy storage systems.
