About the Lab
The Applied Power Electronics Laboratory covers four major research thrusts. Non-Conventional Energy: modelling PV, fuel cell, and wind energy sources; power converter topologies for stand-alone and grid-connected systems; Maximum Power Point Tracking; microgrid power quality; and power factor correction. Power Conversion and Electric Drives: new converter topologies; high-frequency link power conversion; ZVS/ZCS configurations; advanced control schemes (Hybrid, QFT, Sliding Mode); switched capacitor DC-DC converters; and sensorless electric drive control. Electronic Systems: GPS-INS integration for navigation; intelligent transportation systems; biomedical systems; and radiation effects on electronic components. EMI/EMC: analysis, measurement and mitigation of EMI; system design optimization for reduced EMI; and development of measurement tools (E-field and H-field probes).
