Power Conversion for Nuclear, Renewables & O&G

Power conversion technologies are central to modern energy systems, integrating renewable generation and energy storage alongside nuclear and fossil sources. As technologies evolve and systems become more complex, engineers must understand both the fundamentals of power electronics and of synchronous machines to holistically understand the modern grid.

This webinar follows each major generation type (fossil, nuclear, and renewable) from its energy source to the grid, and covers the main technologies, tradeoffs, and integration points along the way. Participants will gain practical insight into the standards, design considerations and engineering challenges involved in delivering reliable power conversion solutions to build a stable, reliable grid.

Key Topics Discussed;

• Sources of U.S. grid generation and how each reaches the grid 

• Thermodynamic cycles and rotating machines in traditional generation 

• Inverter-based power conversion and the integration of renewable energy (including IEEE 1547 and IEEE 2800) 

• Grid inertia, synthetic inertia, and the role of energy storage
