Nanotechnology is a broad term that covers many areas of science, research and technology. In its most basic form, it can be described as working with things that are small. The area of investigation is defined by the study, design, manipulation, manufacture, and control of materials or devices by physical or chemical means at resolutions on the order of one billionth of a meter. The potential for a wide range of applications makes a basic understanding of nanotechnology important to us. Join us this Friday to know more about Nanotech's: -Definition -Background (Quantum Mechanics) -Directions -Microelectronics -Photovoltaics -Photonics Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/305045

Dear Colleagues, Students, and IEEE members, On Behalf of The IEEE Joint Chapter Lebanon, IE13/PE31/CAS04/PEL35 and the IEEE NDU Student Branch, we would like to invite you to its webinar titled "Remaining Useful Lifetime Management of Modular Multilevel Converters: Advantages and Collateral Negative Effects". Abstract: Maintenance of power converters is a hot topic in any industrial application. In power systems, the most critical electronic components suffer from aging mainly caused by thermal stress. In order to improve the converter availability, extension of the converter lifetime, fault tolerant capability, and fast maintenance operations are important features to be achieved. Modular power converters are currently an attractive solution because of their inherent fault-tolerant operation and reduced production and maintenance cost. In this talk, the advantages of using modular converters in a wide range of power applications are introduced. In addition, the operation of these converters with an eye on the thermal behavior by applying advanced active thermal control methods is addressed. It will be shown that it is possible to smartly manage the remaining useful lifetime of each power cell of the modular structure to reduce the corresponding maintenance cost. However, the application of such methods leads to creating negative collateral effects that could mitigate the achieved advantages. These negative effects can be mitigated by applying advanced modulation methods based on modifying well-known techniques such as phase-shifted modulation and interleaved operation.
