Power Conversion Systems Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies next-generation power electronics, from materials to systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Next-generation power electronics, from materials to systems.
The Power Conversion Systems Engineering Lab aims to create next-generation power electronics, and studies foundational materials, extreme-condition devices, the integration of power converters, and new energy grids.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name of the "New Energy Systems Engineering" division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics.
From the perspective of electric power and energy, the lab collaborates with related research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad.
At the graduate level, the lab participates as a cooperating laboratory of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, and it also takes part in the KOSEN (technical college) partnership education program of the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering in the School of Engineering.
Key terms
- Power electronics
- A field that began at the boundary of electric power, circuits, and control, and is now merging with materials and information technologies
- Green electronics
- New electronics and its systems, developed from the perspective of electric power and energy
ResearchResearch themes
