NCPRE conducts Training Program on Advanced Power Electronics for Solar PV Integration

Prof. B. G. Fernandes and Prof. Shiladri Chakraborty, organized a 3-day training program on “Advanced Power Electronics for Solar PV Integration” from 17 - 19 July, 2025. This intensive program offered a deep dive into modern inverter architectures and semiconductor technologies crucial for solar PV integration. Participants learned about single-stage and multi-stage inverter topologies, modulation schemes, wide bandgap devices (SiC/GaN), energy buffering techniques, and advanced control strategies for grid-tied systems. The course featured a rich blend of lectures and hands-on sessions including, LT Spice simulations, real-time hardware demos, and DSP-based inverter control, designed to bridge theory with practical application. A total of 41 participants from industry, academia, Government organizations, and research students benefited from this program and were equipped with the technical know-how and practical skills to design and analyze next-generation PV power conversion systems. Participants of the training program shared their experiences: “This immersive three- day journey delved into the heart of cutting-edge power electronics. … The program’s versatile curriculum … masterfully bridged theory and practice through engaging lectures and hands-on sessions;” and “I’m invigorated to leverage these insights to design and optimize next- generation power conversion systems, driving the renewable energy revolution forward!” Such feedback underscores the program’s success in equipping participants to advance sustainable energy solutions.
