DESCRIPTION:Prof. Binbin Li\,\nHarbin Institute of Technology\, School of 
 Electrical Engineering and Automation\, China\nThe seminar will take place
  in ELA 2 and will be simultaneously broadcasted in Neuchâtel Campus (MC
  A1 272).\n\nCoffee and cookies will be served at 13:00 before the semina
 r\, in front of the two auditoriums. \n\n\nAbstract\nThe power system now
 adays are dominated by alternating current (AC). With the increasing penet
 ration of renewable energy sources and ubiquitous power electronics appara
 tus\, DC power is making a comeback. In the generation aspect\, the PV\, w
 ind\, and energy storage are inherently DC sources. For transmission\, the
  high-voltage direct current (HVDC) has become the feasible solution for t
 ransmitting large amounts of power over long distances or submarine cables
 . For distribution\, DC is more capable of accommodating a higher level of
  renewable energy and friendly to the EV charging stations. Therefore\, DC
  is highly expected in both academics and industries.\n\nNevertheless\, ju
 st like the role of transformer in AC systems\, DC grids also require such
  a device to exchange power between networks with different voltage levels
 . As DC circuit does not satisfy the law of Electromagnetic Induction\, it
  is not possible to use magnetic transformers to convert DC voltage but ha
 s to rely on power electronics technology. Although the DC/DC power-electr
 onic converters have been widely studied and applied at low-power applicat
 ions and a myriad of topologies exist\, most of these topologies are not r
 eadily scaled up to tens/hundreds of kilovolts and megawatt power ranges\,
  due to the limitations of loss\, cost\, dv/dt\, and ratings of the semico
 nductors. To overcome these limitations\, several novel high-power DC tran
 sformer techniques have been proposed and demonstrated during the last few
  years. This tutorial will give a systematic review of the latest developm
 ent in this filed.\n\nBio\nBinbin Li received his PhD degree in Electrical
  Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT)\, China\, 2017\, an
 d is currently Professor in School of Electrical Engineering and Automatio
 n\, HIT. His research interests include multilevel converters\, solid-stat
 e transformers\, power amplifier\, and HVDC system. He has been selected i
 n the Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship Program by China Association for 
 Science and Technology\, and DC Power Outstanding Young Researcher award b
 y Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering (CSEE). He is PI of more than
  30 research grants and projects on power electronics\, holds more than 20
  patents and has collaborated with the industries developing several mega-
 watt power converters\, and published more than 60 journal papers. Current
 ly he is associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and IE
 EE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society.
