Solid state transformers course – e-lesson #4: SMART GRIDS AND MICROGRIDS

Basic level Wednesday, 19 March 2025, 2:00 PM TZ Europe/Zagreb
Basic level

Hosted by: Mario Salano / Basic level

The fourth lesson of the new course titled "SMART GRIDS AND MICROGRIDS" is scheduled for 19th March and the topics of the fourth lesson are:

 

SMART GRIDS: The European Union defines a smart grid as "an electricity network that efficiently integrates the behavior of all connected users (generators, consumers, prosumers) to ensure an economically efficient and sustainable power system."

MICROGRIDS: electricity distribution systems made up of integrated distributed energy sources, interconnected loads and storage energy systems which operate as a unique controllable entity.

About the author

Mario Salano

Mr. Salano’s expertise in the field of power transformers comes from a well established engineering skills acquired in “Salano transformers”, renowned Italian company that manufactured line-frequency power transformers for Italian power utilities. While inheriting the company from his father, Sig. Mario Salano used his vast engineering skills and he managed to maintain the company in rough period of seventies, adding new technologies and novel approaches to traditional values and products of “Salano transformers”.

His current interests include high-efficiency distribution transformers, the impact of nonlinear loads on power transformers, novel materials for transformer cores and also high-frequency power transformers for the use in conjunction with power electronics topologies.
