Welcome to the Website of the Power Electronics and Machinery Laboratory.

 

The Power Electronics and Machinery Lab is part of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the Hongik University, Sejong. The main research focus is on power electronics applications in electric motor drives, renewable energy systems, micro-grids, and the smart grid. Electric drives investigated cover a wide range of applications including plug-in, hybrid, and electric vehicles, and electric propulsion. Renewable energy integration is mainly focused on solar photovoltaics but covers several other areas. Efficiency, control, optimization, reliability and real-time operation of most power electronic systems are of main interest. The lab has a very dynamic environment with several active research projects. New equipment is already up and running for various experiments. Talented students interested in power electronics, especially electric drives and solar photovoltaic energy conversion are welcome. Funding is very competitve if available.
