PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Power Electronics and Energy Systems in Kingston Canada | Queen's University

Queen's University's research in Power Electronics spans diverse applications, including power transmission (from generators to main distribution transformers), renewable energy solutions (like fuel cells, solar, and wind power), power utilization (such as in communication and computer systems), and specialized power application integrated circuits (PASIC). For high-power applications, the team innovates medium- and high-power converter designs, switching methods, and control strategies to enhance performance, reduce complexity, lower costs, and improve controllability in power converters for grid applications like reactive power compensation and renewable energy integration. In renewable energy, their work emphasizes power electronics for distributed generation and grid-tied energy sources, exploring maximum power point tracking for inverters, along with performance assessment, monitoring, and modeling of photovoltaic, wind, and hybrid energy systems.
