Referat plenarny, "Power electronics and hybrid transformers in distributed energy system - opportunities and challenges", wygłosił profesor Mariusz Malinowski, Politechnika Warszawska

The fast development of distributed generation systems (DGS), including an increasing number of renewable energy sources (RES), demand the change of classical grid into smart grids (SG), integrating all new distributed elements, e.g., active loads/sources/energy storages. Currently used conventional transformer cannot fulfill all requirements of SG. Therefore a new solution is demanded due to the nature of highly different types of energy sources, loads, and frequent voltage disturbances occurring in DGS. The proposed modern solutions are the applications of multifunctional power electronics, fault-tolerant power electronics, and hybrid transformers, that are able not only to meet the main requirements of SG but also respond to the future challenges defined by the constant progress of technology in all new fields (e.g., electromobility, energy store systems, etc.).
