photovoltaic energy, stability analysis of electrical networks, converters reliability, power electronics control
issues, model predictive control in power electronics,
current-source solid-state transformer technologies,
grid integration of electric vehicles, and wireless power transfer systems.
Prof. Frede Blaabjerg (IEEE PELS past President)
opened the morning activities by commenting on the
PELS Day celebrations and the society's history. In the
afternoon, the Region 9 PELS Chair, João Pinto, spoke
about the PELS Brazil initiative. Over 800 people worldwide attended the virtual event, including graduate students, nongraduate students, professors, and industry
professionals. All of the sessions are available on the
PELS Resource Center.
The PELS NAB would like to thank all of the DL
speakers (Frede Blaabjerg, João Pinto, Edison da Silva)
and the Brazilian PELS Chairs (Lais Proença, Thiago
Rech, Thyago Estrabis, Thales Queiroz, Maeva Rênnua,
Mateus Dias) (Figure 1) for their efforts to promote the
PELS DLs Online Seminar. Additionally, the PELS NAB
thanked the team (Alysson Machado, Nayara Lisboa,
Leonardo Belincanta, Lucas Medeiros, Eluze Dias, Lucas Simplicio, Raimundo Dantas, Akillys Felipe, Gabriel
Gentil, Renan Fernandes, João Anjos, Thaís Sousa, André Ribeiro, Renata Kimpara, Fábio Alves, Gonçalo Fontenele, Gustavo Leal, João Victorio, João Loureiro, and
Vinícius Magalhães) for successfully leading the creation, publication, and transmission of the virtual event.
