Remaining Useful Lifetime Management of Modular Power Converters: Advantages and Collateral Negative Effects Part 3

Initially, Prof. Franquelo introduced about his research group to the audience and asked the audience for the future collaboration. He has started the presentation with the introduction about the Remaining Useful Lifetime Management of Modular Power Converters and he explained about the most critical components of power converters. Prof. Franquelo has talked about the reliability aspects of power electronics and about the failure of solar PV systems and power electronics converters. He has discussed about the several thermal issues in the power electronics. Prof. Franquelo has discussed about the basic concepts of modular converters with their respective pros and cons. Then he talked about the thermal management methods of modular converters. Later on he talked about the active thermal control of modular DC/AC and DC/DC converters.
