Scope of the training program

In recent times, the demand for electrical power is rapidly increasing both for industrial and domestic applications. The dependent on the conventional sources has to be necessarily reduced since such sources are depleting fast and pollute the environment. So, the exploitation of renewable energy sources for the generation of electrical power is being emphasized, either to augment the grid power or for supplying certain isolated loads. Among the various renewable energy sources, wind and solar electric energy conversion systems have been found to be viable in contributing significant amount of electric power. In this context, solar energy is the most likely choice for a tropical country like India, since it has abundant in solar energy for at least 10 months in a year and should be effectively made use of. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels give dc power directly from sunlight. Such Solar PV Electric Conversion Systems (SPVECS) are broadly classified into two categories namely (i) stand-alone systems for supplying isolated loads and (ii) grid connected systems for feeding power to the grid. Power electronic converters are essential for supplying the electric power to the grid or isolated loads from such solar PV panels. So, this training program aims at explaining the trends in the SPVECS through comprehensive lectures and laboratory classes to the research scholars, teachers and practicing engineers working in this

area. The following topics will be covered in the course: Operational aspects of solar PV panels. Various power electronic configurations employed in SPVECS. Closed-loop control of grid-connected and stand-alone systems. Practical exposure in the operation of SPVECS
