Expertise in design and control of novel, power-dense multi-phase electric drives for safety-critical applications, including rail transportation, electric vehicles, marine propulsion drives and aerospace.
Battery storage plays an important role in microgrids, improving grid reliability and resilience while facilitating effective operation of critical and frequency-sensitive loads. Battery storage is critical both for daily operation of a microgrid, as well as providing for grid redundancy in extreme events.
The Microwave and Millimetre Wave (MMM) Laboratory is an international leader in radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS)and microwave and millimetre-wave devices for mobile and satellite communications.
Design, fabrication and measurement of nano- and micro-scale systems with mechanical, electrical and/or optical functionalities on a silicon substrate or CMOS integrated circuit, enabling the development of novel and advanced sensors and actuators.
Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are poised for widespread use in connecting renewable energy sources to the utility grid, replacing traditional 50 Hz transformers in the distribution and higher voltage grid, microgrids and battery-changing installations.
