Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.2.1 Power Electronics for Integration of Renewables

Course subject(s) 1. Integration of Renewables Into the Electricity Grid

In the last lecture, we learnt about the challenges when integrating renewables into the electric grid. Besides automation challenges, the operational challenges, and the planning challenges, there are also some challenges when physically connecting the renewables to the grid. This module we take a closer look and see how renewable energy sources are actually connected to the grid. In the lecture, different power electronic interfaces are introduced and the need for these power electronics is motivated. Also, the buck converter is explained as an example for the different power electronics.
