As part of its ongoing scientific activities, the Department of Electrical Engineering at the College of Engineering – University of Baghdad, under the patronage of the Dean of the College, Prof. Dr. Ghassan Hamid Abdul-Majid, and supervised by the Head of the Department, Prof. Dr. Firas Mohammed Tu’ma, organized a scientific seminar titled:
“Enhancing the Performance of Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters Using Wide Bandgap Devices for Renewable Energy Applications.”
The seminar was delivered by Dr. Ammar Falah Mahmoud, a faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering, on Monday, May 26, 2025, in the department’s meeting hall.
The seminar discussed the latest techniques used to improve the efficiency of power electronic converters in renewable energy systems by utilizing wide bandgap (WBG) devices, which offer advantages such as reduced losses, increased efficiency, and smaller size and cost and enable operation at higher temperatures and faster switching frequencies.
The seminar aimed to highlight the role of WBG devices in enhancing the reliability and sustainability of photovoltaic and wind energy systems, while also opening new research and practical opportunities for students and researchers.
