RESEARCH

Developing the Enabling Infrastructure Technology

Power electronics is the "enabling infrastructure technology" that promotes the conversion of electrical power from its raw form to the form needed by machines, motors, and electronic equipment. CPES research activities are dedicated to improving electrical power processing and distribution that impact systems of all sizes - from battery-operated electronics, to vehicles, to regional and national electrical distribution systems.
