Prof. Katherine Kim and undergraduate intern Kai En Loo attended IEEE Energy Conversion Conference and Expo (ECCE) 2024 held in Phoenix, AZ, USA.
During the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) Town Hall meeting on October 20, 2024, Prof. Kim presented an update on the recent educational activities of PELS. There are many educational activities for IEEE PELS members, ranging from students to professionals, including webinars, podcasts, student competitions, an educational video series (PELSTube), ‘PhD Schools,’ and university power electronics kits. After, she participated in an open panel discussion as the PELS Vice President for Global Relations (and Educational Activities). A picture of the panel is below.
During the poster presentation on October 21, 2024, Kai En presented his poster on “Photovoltaic Array Mismatch Analysis for Differential Power Processing Systems Using Real-World Data,” as shown in the picture below. He talked to many people at the conference explaining how his work utilized real-world data to investigate differences among channels in solar PV panels to better understand the requirements for differential power processing converters.
