Universidade Federal do Ceará, Centro de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Elétrica.

Domenico Sgrò received the M.Sc. degree in industrial engineering and the Ph.D. degree in computer science and system engineering from the University of Calabria, Rende, Italy, in 2005 and 2010 respectively. Since 2015 he is working toward the Post-Ph.D. course on Power Electronic Applications for wind generators in the Group of Power Processing and Control (GPEC), Electrical Engineering Department, Federal University of Ceará (UFC), Fortaleza, Brazil.His research is focused on the design and the control of power converters, in particular, those used in the renewable energy field. His main interests are optimal power control, grid monitoring methods, and grid synchronization algorithms.

Abstract

Distributed generation systems based on renewable energies, such as solar and wind energy sources, are nowadays one of the most promising ways to meet the power demand increase, the customer interests to generate electricity... [ view full abstract ]
