Save-The-Date: "Power Electronics in the Energy Transition" Conference on July 4, 2024 at University of Applied Sciences Munich
Register now!
As the interface between electrical energy and technology, power electronics play a decisive role in the efficient and intelligent control and conversion of electrical energy. In times when a sustainable and conscious use of resources is the order of the day, it is essential to deal with the possibilities of power electronics in relation to the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition. Our event offers you a forum to find out about the latest developments, innovative applications and future trends in power electronics. Experts from science and industry will provide insights into their areas of research and work and discuss the role that power electronics plays in the expansion of renewable energies and in the realization of a sustainable, reliable energy supply.
With Dr. Sönke Rogalla (Head of Department for Power Electronics and Grid Integration at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE) and Prof. Rainer Marquardt (Professor Emeritus at the Chair of Power Electronics at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich), we have been able to attract two keynote speakers who will address the topic from different perspectives. Learn more about the topics from experts in the following sessions:
- Integration of renewable energies and grid stability
- New horizons for energy conversion and storage
- The potential and challenges of direct current grids in energy distribution and transmission
Take the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and network with industry colleagues to gain a comprehensive insight into the potential of power electronics for a successful energy transition.
Of course, you will also have the opportunity to get to know our institute and our scientific environment.
The event will take place at the University of Applied Sciences Munich at Lothstraße 34 from 9:00 am to approx. 5:30 pm, including a guided tour of the laboratory in the end. You can register via the online registration portal.
We would be delighted to welcome you to this event at Munich University of Applied Sciences.
Your team of the Institute for Sustainable Energy Systems ISES
