Seminar on the application prospects of solar power generation in urban buildings and smart homes


At the grand opening of the 12th Academic Annual Meeting of the Shanghai Association for Science and Technology, the "Prospects of Solar Power Application in Urban Buildings and Smart Homes" seminar, sponsored by the Shanghai Instrument and Instrument Society and co-sponsored by the Shanghai Electronic and Electrical Association and the Tsinghua University Shanghai Alumni Association, was held on September 29, 2014, at the IC Coffee厅 in the Zhangjiang High-tech Park in Shanghai. More than 40 participants from universities, research institutes, and enterprises attended the seminar. The seminar was chaired by Mr. Qian Jingsheng, a member of the Shanghai Instrument and Instrument Society and the director of the Technical Economic Information Special Committee, and a special guest lecture was delivered by Dr. Gu Junyin from Yingwei Lian New Energy Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

DC microgrids, as a novel form of microgrids, have gradually attracted widespread attention and application. Compared with traditional AC microgrids, DC microgrids can significantly reduce power conversion losses and power transmission losses, and have more convenient interconnection and networking methods, which can more efficiently and reasonably utilize new energy distributed generation. Professor Gu, through his keynote speech, analyzed the main problems faced by DC microgrids and proposed a series of solutions from theory to practice and from multiple perspectives. Practical schemes and operation strategies for the application of DC microgrids in "Smart Home" and "Smart City" were given, and the new progress of DC microgrids in Europe was introduced, especially the brand-new theory of "Multi-frequency DC Microgrid System", which is still at the academic forefront.

After the lecture, Dr. Gu answered questions from the audience, discussing with them the specific application of DC microgrids in actual solar power generation and the difficulties encountered in the application. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and all the participants expressed that they had benefited a lot and hoped to have more technical exchange activities in the future.
