Infrastructure

The PEPST Laboratory is located in room W4-076 of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Facility (ECERF). It has state-of-the-art equipment available to carry out research at the intersection of power electronics and power systems

• • • Fully modularized converter prototyping systems with plug-and-play type reconfigurability that allows you to (relatively quickly) build and experimentally test novel modular multilevel converter systems and controls. 

    • A NovaCor real-time digital simulator (RTDS) that can model large and complex power electronically enabled systems such as DC grids.

PEPST Lab members also have priority access to the ECE Department's ELITE Grid research lab, which houses a vast array of experimental hardware from real-time simulators and power amplifiers to reconfigurable hybrid AC/DC microgrid switchgear.
