Power Electronics for Renewable and Distributed Energy Systems / Green Energy and Technology (PDF)

Dr. Sudipta Chakraborty received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from Bengal Engineering College (now Bengal Engineering and Science University), Shibpur, India, in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in engineering systems, electrical specialty, from Colorado School of Mines, Golden, in 2007. He joined the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Golden, in 2007 where he is currently holds Senior Engineer position. His current research interests include development of advanced and modular power converters for renewable and distributed energy resources, development and testing of new smart grid modeling and hardware-in-loop validation techniques. His other specialty areas include power electronics and control for microgrid systems; inverter and hybrid vehicle grid integration testing; control and optimization (classical, neural network, fuzzy logic); variable frequency drives; and active filtering.  Dr. Chakraborty is currently serving in IEEE-IES technical committees on power electronics and renewable energy systems. He has worked as one of the guest editor for the IEEE transaction on industrial electronics, special section on renewable energy systems. He is the contributing author of two published software copyrights on power electronics algorithms. Eight other intellectual properties developed by him on PV inverter hardware and software are currently under NREL-DOE review for future patents and copyright applications.

 

Dr. Marcelo G.  Simões received a BS and MS from University of São Paulo, Brazil, and a Ph.D. from The University of Tennessee, USA, in 1985, 1990, and 1995, respectively, and his D. Sc. degree

(Livre-Docência) from the University of São Paulo in 1998.  He is Associate Professor with Colorado School of Mines, where he has been establishing research and education activities in the development of intelligent control for high-power-electronics applications
