EPE’21 ECCE Europe
Date: 08/09/2021
Location: Virtual
Mebtu Beza presented a conference paper at the 3rd European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE’21 ECCE Europe). The presentation was online due to the COVID-19 travel limitation during 2021. He analyzed the passivity characteristics due to different control parameters of a grid-forming converter. The results where obtained in both simulations and an experimental set-up.
Third Consortium meeting
Date: 21/10/2020
Location: Virtual
This year a virtual Consortium meeting have been organized without affecting the initial schedule. In particular, the current progress of the project was discussed and our colleagues presented a summary of the technical work developed since the last meeting. Since this is the 3rd year of the project, there are already very interesting contributions.
