On July 10, the focus of the 2nd SUNRISE Summer School shifted toward advanced topics in the modeling and control of voltage source converters (VSCs), attracting strong interest from all participants.
The day opened with a lecture by José María Maza Ortega, Full Professor at the University of Seville, who continued with Part II of Modeling, Control and Simulation of grid-following VSCs.
The session was followed by Manuel Barragán Villarejo, Associate Professor at the University of Seville, who also contributed to Part II of the same topic, offering deeper insight and practical implications.
Later on, Juan Manuel Mauricio, Associate Professor at the University of Seville, delivered a highly engaging lecture on Modeling, Control and Simulation of grid-forming VSCs, highlighting key distinctions and challenges in grid-forming operation.
To conclude the day, Francisco Jesús Matas-Díaz, Assistant Professor at the University of Seville, presented Control Hardware in the Loop of grid-following VSCs using Typhoon HIL, providing an excellent bridge between theoretical control concepts and their application in real-time environments.
As in previous days, the sessions were held in the fully packed ceremonial hall of the Palace of Science, where the atmosphere remained focused yet enthusiastic. Participants actively engaged with the lecturers and with one another, making the most of breaks to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and build meaningful professional connections.
