Renewable energy is the future. Climate change, limited fossil fuel reserves, and pollution all point to the limitations of reliance on traditional energy sources. Clean energy technologies that are environmentally sustainable will improve public health and can create jobs using inexhaustible sources. The Centre for Energy and Power Electronics Research (CEPER) brings together academic and industrial partners to develop a broad range of applications and expertise in the field of power electronics. Researchers are advancing knowledge in alternative energy, power transmission, and power consumption. Fundamental and applied research is fuelling development of new energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly power electronic technologies. Energy and power electronics research in areas such as power semiconductor devices, converter topologies, power management techniques, machine drives, analytical and simulation techniques, application-specific integrated circuit chips and advanced control methods. With growing energy demand, shortage of traditional energy sources and increasingly rigorous environmental standards, work conducted at CEPER is playing a significant role in combating growing energy costs, conserving energy and protecting the environment.
