As an emerging research direction and hotspot in the field of DC power grids, DC transformers are key equipment for efficient integration and conversion of new energy and energy storage, which have received extensive attention from the international academia and industry. However, the research on the theories and equipment technologies of medium and high-voltage large-capacity DC transformers is still in the early stage, and there are still many scientific challenges and technical problems in the process of practical application and large-scale generalization.

In order to promote academic exchanges and the application technology progress in DC transformer related fields, China Electrotechnical Society is scheduled to hold the “Youth Salon of China Association for Science and Technology and the 15th Youth Salon of China Electrotechnical Society" during the annual academic conference of China Electrotechnical Society on September 26, 2021, focusing on the frontier technologies and development trend of DC transformers, discussing the latest research progress, technical bottlenecks and challenges in this field, expanding academic exchanges among young scholars in the field of DC transformers of China, and strengthening the inter-disciplinary integration. Zhao Biao, associate professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering and director of the Power Conversion Research Office, DC Research Center of Energy Internet Research Institute, Tsinghua University served as the convener of this salon.
