The Paris climate accord signed by 195 nations, dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation, has spurred the exponential development of novel renewable energy based technologies. Power electronics is an integral part of these technologies. The energy market is rapidly moving towards “more” integration of renewable energy sources in the electric power grid and the use of electric vehicles. It is anticipated that by the mid-century more than 16% of global electricity will be generated using photovoltaic systems, and electric vehicles will become the mode of transportation of choice. One of the main challenges that needs to be addressed is to efficiently and reliably process the electrical energy. To do so, this project deals with the development of high-density and high-efficiency power electronics converter blocks that offer flexibility in creating many different types of energy networks for the future. The short-term objectives of this research proposal are to create optimally designed new bi-directional AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC power electronics converter topologies. The long-term objectives of this research program are to produce generic building-blocks of power electronics converters, commercialize these new state-of-the-art technologies, and train Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) in power electronics. The innovative character of this research lies in the uniqueness of proposed alternatives to existing converter topologies and control techniques, tailored for developing next generation power electronics technologies with industrial importance and academic significance. The main emphasis is devising minimum-components, highly-efficient and very-high switching circuit topologies and digital control techniques that enable cost-effective and compact power electronics converter blocks expected to provide a competitive edge to Canadian industries to penetrate the energy market. The proposed research will also help Canada to fulfill its commitment to the Paris accord in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The scope of the proposed research is limited to single-phase, low-to-medium power applications.

由195个国家签署的巴黎气候雅阁涉及温室气体减排和适应，刺激了基于新可再生能源技术的指数级发展。电力电子是这些技术的一个组成部分。能源市场正迅速走向可再生能源在电网中的“更多”整合和电动汽车的使用。预计到本世纪中叶，全球超过16%的电力将由光伏系统产生，电动汽车将成为首选的交通方式。需要解决的主要挑战之一是高效可靠地处理电能。为此，该项目致力于开发高密度和高效率的电力电子转换器模块，为未来创建许多不同类型的能源网络提供灵活性。本研究提案的短期目标是创建优化设计的新型双向AC/DC、DC/DC、DC/AC电力电子变换器拓扑结构。该研究计划的长期目标是生产电力电子转换器的通用构建模块，将这些最先进的新技术商业化，并培养电力电子领域的高素质人才（HQP）。这项研究的创新性在于现有的转换器拓扑结构和控制技术，为开发下一代电力电子技术的工业重要性和学术意义的独特性，建议的替代品。主要重点是设计最少的组件，高效和非常高的开关电路拓扑结构和数字控制技术，使成本效益和紧凑的电力电子转换器块预计将提供竞争优势，加拿大工业渗透能源市场。拟议中的研究还将有助于加拿大履行其对巴黎雅阁的承诺，减少温室气体排放。拟议的研究范围仅限于单相，低到中等功率的应用。
