Research Labs - Power Electronics Lab

Operational since early 2009, the power electronics lab is well funded and is equipped with modern facilities to support research and teaching activities (both at the undergraduate and graduate levels). The vision of the lab is to provide a facility that deals with all issues related to the efficient processing of electrical energy from its available form to the desired form, with focus on the oil and gas industry. The current research interests of this lab are power quality, electric drives, FACTS devices, power electronic applications to power systems, and high power electronic systems, with plans to expand into hybrid energy systems, interconnection of power systems, non-conventional energy systems, bulk energy transfer systems, and low power electronic systems. The lab is closely associated with the other labs and research groups to fulfill the vision and mission of the institute.
