Titel: Energy Internet and Critical Power Electronics Technology
Abstract:
Dr. Huang proposed the revolutionary FREEDM (Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management) System in 2007 as a novel architecture suitable for plug-and-play of distributed renewable energy and distributed energy storage devices. Motivated by the success of the Information Internet, the architecture was put forward as a transformative platform for an Energy Internet. In the Information Internet, people share information in a plug and play manner. In the envisioned ‘Energy Internet’, a vision for sharing of the energy is proposed for ordinary citizen and home owners. Key enabling technologies required to achieve such a vision will be discussed. Among many of the key technologies, the development of advanced wide bandgap power semiconductor devices and medium voltage power electronics systems will be discussed and highlighted.
