Green Power Electronics

In the centre, we focus on solving complex problems in mobility electrification, energy networks, energy efficiency and reduction of harmful gases. We look into these energy problems in the context of cyber-physical systems (CPS) problem.

We are specifically interested in the feedback systems where we employ networked or distributed control, adaptive and predictive control, intelligent control, and real-time (time-constrained) control for power and energy management from component-level including batteries, wideband-gap power electronics to system-level including microgrids/nanogrids and buildings. In the context of the feedback system, we also employ wireless sensing using novel sensing technologies, and multi-sensory fusion algorithms to achieve reliability, flexibility and accuracy.

Our Microgrid project funded by GCRF Large Grant Scheme is selected to be featured for Research England for establishing strong collaboration with partners in Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Provincial Electrical Authority (PEA) in Thailand and University of Dhaka and Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources in Bangladesh to develop and finance first low-cost microgrid pilot project powered by on-shore wave energy as well as solar energy and use second-life batteries for storing the energy.
