The PEPST Lab carries out research at the intersection of power electronics and power systems. The main driving force behind our research activities is to address the many challenges arising due to the evolving landscape of electric power systems. Key activities include the development and application of new modular power electronic converter topologies to enhance grid functionality, at both transmission and distribution levels, as well as the large scale integration of renewable energy resources. An emphasis is placed on applications involving high-voltage dc (HVDC) and medium-voltage dc (MVDC) grids and mixed ac/dc power networks, but we are also interested in microgrids, grid connected energy storage, and other systems concepts and technologies falling under the broad “smart grid” label.
Currently, PEPST Lab research interests include:
Modular power converters for dc and ac grids
Grid integration of renewable energy systems
Dc power networks, including meshed HVDC and MVDC grids
Mixed (i.e. hybrid) ac/dc power systems
Modeling, analysis and control of modular multilevel converters
Modular converter structures with integrated fault blocking capability
