2018 ONR Controls Workshop

On March 22-23, 2018, CEM’s own Dr. Xianyong Feng attended the 2018 ONR Control Workshop at Arlington, TX. The main focus of this workshop includes modeling and simulation of wideband-gap semiconductors, system-level controls for shipboard power systems and microgrids, dc system fault management, and hardware-in-the-loop simulation tests. Dr. Feng presented the MVDC fault management work for shipboard power systems. The on-going MVDC fault test work at UT-CEM will evaluate various emerging protection approaches for both short-circuit faults and series arc faults.

CEM Featured on LHN Game Changers

CEM is partnered with several great companies and organizations on this effort. The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) helped pull together a great team and is providing overall project management and reporting to our sponsors.

Power Symposium

2018 Austin Power Electronics Symposium

Driven by the commercial availability of wide bandgap (WBG) power devices, this is an exciting time for power electronics community. Future power electronics systems will not only be much more efficient, but also smaller and lighter than before. This will have huge impacts to a whole array of industries from mobile computing, to data center to electric transportations. The increased voltage and speed in these power devices are also making it possible now to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the power grid with advanced medium voltage power electronics technology.
