The Power Electronics, Machines and Control Group (PEMC) offer research opportunities in power electronics, machines and drive control. More specifically, research fields including AC drive control, power electronic converter applications, AC-AC power conversion (converter control, compact power and implementation techniques), and motor drive efficiency and instrumentation methods are available. Expertise also includes robust control, system control of wind and hybrid generation, system control of isolated power buses; EMC in drives and power electronic systems, and dynamic modelling techniques for electrical machines, thus offering further research opportunities.
The PEMC is one of the leading research groups in the UK in the field of power electronics and motor drives. In the past 5 years the group has undertaken research contracts worth £6M, earned from EPSRC, PPARC, DTI, national and international industry, EU, and UK and US defence bodies. In addition to its technological research capabilities, the Group has an expanding portfolio of application areas including renewable energies (Areva, DTI, Innogy, EU, CEMEP), automotive (TRW) and RF power (PPARC/e2v Technologies/DSTL/HPRF Faraday). Its principle application area is currently in Aerospace. Following approx £1M worth of contracts developing high-power density actuator drives and power supplies for Smiths Aerospace, Boeing and Axa-Power, the Group was recently awarded the Smiths Aerospace University Technology Strategic Partnership jointly funded by Smiths Aerospace and EPSRC.
