Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES website)
|
 |
|
A DC/DC PWM resonant converter for applications that require high power density, low-weight, and volume.
|
CPES, a consortium of 5 universities and more than 80 industry partners is one of the nation's few NSF Engineering Research Centers. Current research, with a total annual budget of more than $10 million, is aimed at developing an integrated system approach via integrated power electronics modules (IPEMs). Program elements include advanced power semiconductor devices, power ICs, integrated packaging, control and sensor integration, IPEM synthesis, integrated design methodologies, distributed power systems and motor drives for a wide range of applications. |
