Speech Title: Potential of wide band gap power device for sustainable and resilient power system
Abstract: Power electronics, which converts and manages electric power, is indispensable for energy saving and renewable energy utilization. That is power electronics is essential technology for sustainable and resilient power and energy system. Power semiconductor device is key component of power electronics. Si semiconductor technology has been supported the advancement of power electronics. However, material property of Si shows the limitations of performance improvement of power semiconductor device especially for high voltage and high power applications. The wide band gap semiconductors make it possible to overcome the limitations of Si semiconductor; e.g. SiC, GaN, Ga2O3 and diamond. However, conventional circuit design and fabrication technologies cannot maximize the high performance of wide band gap semiconductor. The cutting edge technologies especially in thermal and EMC design of power electronics for effective use of wide band gap power semiconductor device are presented in this talk.

Speech Title: Some Challenging Issues for Implementation of Grid Forming Inverter
Abstract: Grid Forming Inverter is a new technology that utilizes distributed power sources such as renewable energy generation and storage batteries to control the operation of power systems connected to power networks. It is critical to improving the stability and reliability of power systems. GFM is a promising solution to support future low-inertia power system grid frequencies and voltages, but there are several practical issues and challenges.
This presentation will discuss recent trends and predictions for future trends, focusing on some of the following issues to be challenged:
Stability and synchronization; coping with load variations; Countermeasures against reverse currents; Integrated control with the smart grid; Technology and Policy Regulation Regulations including Grid Code and standardization.
It is hoped that technological advances and R&D results will overcome these challenges and contribute to the diffusion of renewable energy and the stabilization of power networks.
