Special Session SS15

Key Technologies of Switching Equipment for New Power Systems and Renewable Energy Applications


Introduction:

Switching equipment serves as a core component for power conversion, distribution, and protection, and is a critical foundational asset for constructing new power systems and enabling efficient integration and reliable supply of renewable energy. With the rapid development of high-penetration renewable energy, DC distribution, rail transit electrification, and ship-integrated power systems, traditional switching equipment faces unprecedented challenges in terms of breaking capacity, response speed, controllability, and intelligence. This session focuses on cutting-edge research in medium/high-voltage, DC, and solid-state switching technologies. It highlights innovations spanning fundamental theory, materials and processes, equipment development, system integration, smart operation and maintenance, and digital-twin applications. The session aims to bring together academic and industrial researchers to share the latest advances in enhancing the performance, reliability, and adaptability of switching equipment, thereby supporting the transition and upgrading of new power systems and renewable energy installations.
Topics including, but not limited to:
1. Breaking theory and key technologies for medium/high-voltage AC/DC circuit breakers;
2. High-capacity AC/DC breaking technologies and equipment;
3. Switching equipment and protection schemes for flexible DC transmission and DC distribution systems;
4. Solid-state circuit breakers, hybrid switches, and rapid fault current limiters;
5. Specialized switching equipment for rail transit, ship-integrated power systems, and other unique applications;
6. Applications of switching equipment in renewable energy grid integration, energy storage interconnection, and microgrids;
7. Intelligent design and multiphysics simulation of switching equipment;
8. Condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and intelligent operation & maintenance technologies for switching equipment;
9. Novel switching materials, insulating media, and advanced manufacturing processes;
10. Standardization, reliability assessment, and life-cycle management of switching equipment;
11. Coordinated control and system-level optimization between switching equipment and power electronic converters
