There is an upward trend that human activities require more electric power today and for years to come. These activities require a power supply to convert electricity from one form to another in order to operate. Our research goal is that everyone will be able to enjoy continuous supply of electricity through efficient, reliable and cost-effective power electronic system design, in particular when local generation becomes an attractive and economically viable option.
