The first part of this seminar will provide an introduction to power quality concerns, by reviewing definitions, standards, sources of power quality problems, and available mitigating solutions. In the second part, an overview of ongoing research projects in this area will be provided. The main topics addressed are: modelling of power electronics converters for harmonic assessment, harmonic mitigation, deep learning applied to power quality analytics, power quality in dc microgrids and power quality assessment for tidal energy projects.

This lecture will look at the historic developments of HVDC technologies and introduce the applications of HVDC and HVDC grid technologies in renewable energy integration and energy distribution. It will also consider future developments in the context of energy internet and energy integration.
