About This Topic
The rapid evolution of modern power systems, driven by an increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, has underscored the critical role of power electronics and power converters in ensuring system reliability, efficiency, and flexibility. Power electronics, which enable the efficient conversion and control of electrical energy, are fundamental in integrating distributed and renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power and energy storage into the grid. However, the dynamic and variable nature of renewable energy resources places unprecedented demands on power electronics and power converter systems. This necessitates the development of advanced control strategies to ensure voltage stability, frequency regulation, and seamless operation in the presence of system disturbances. Power converters, operating at the heart of energy conversion, require innovative control mechanisms to enhance their operational performance while adapting to the fast-changing grid conditions. As grid systems become more decentralized, with high levels of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and renewable energy sources, power converters must be capable of providing essential services such as voltage support, reactive power control, and grid-forming capabilities. The integration of power electronics and power converters introduces unique challenges, such as electromagnetic interference, harmonic distortion, and thermal management, which necessitate the use of advanced control algorithms. Moreover, with the rise of DC grids, hybrid AC/DC systems, and the development of power converter-based microgrids, a comprehensive approach to control and coordination is required to maximize system efficiency and operational security. Addressing these challenges calls for further research into the development of next-generation power converters that are not only highly efficient but also capable of providing advanced grid services. This research must also delve into the application of wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, multi-level converter topologies, and advanced modulation techniques, all of which play a pivotal role in improving the performance of power electronics systems.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
