In the future smart grid, it is a significant trend to integrate large capacity renewable energy into medium voltage (MV) DC grids. The high power conversion techniques for wind generation, photovoltaic generation and hydrogen energy system integrated into MVDC grids are reviewed and compared in this lecture, including the system configurations, AC-DC and DC-DC converter designs, control strategies and fault protection. Novel solutions of DC grid-connected photovoltaic generation system are presented, providing new ways to integrate solar energy to DC grids with high efficiency and high power density. As the key element of high power isolated DC-DC converters, high frequency transformers with high withstand voltage are studied in terms of multi-physics modeling, magnetic integration, insulation design, thermal design and multi-objective optimization.

Transit systems, e.g. the subway and public buses, are substantial consumers of energy at any city. New York City (NYC) has set up an aggressive plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, namely the NYC Energy Plan. This plan mandates exploring opportunities for energy saving at all sectors, including the transportation sector. This talk summarizes the key findings and lessons learned of multiple projects that the presenter led, in collaboration with the utility company and public transportation authorities in NYC. These projects aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the subway system through effective recuperation of regenerative braking energy, and at increasing the number of electric vehicles and electric vehicle supply equipment in the city.
