HISTORY OF POWER ELECTRONICS LAB

 

The Power Electronics Laboratory of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), was established in 1999. It is the first of its kind in Macao, and its research and development directions are to integrate teaching with research and to apply research achievements that reach international standards to the society.

The research group of the Laboratory is led by Prof. Han Ying Duo, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The Laboratory has already supported the graduation of one PhD, five Master’s students. At present, seven Master’s students are conducting research on power quality compensators, novel electric traction supply system, soft switching and integrated power electronics controller. 

 

 

During the past ten years, the laboratory has received great supports from FST/UM, Research Committee of UM and Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) of the Macao SAR Government. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude.

 

The laboratory has published seven papers in international refereed journals such as IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and IEEE Transaction on Power Delivery; six papers in important journals on the Mainland; and 55 papers in international and regional conferences. The research group of the Laboratory has received many research awards and outstanding paper awards. In 2007, they submitted two patent applications to the State Intellectual Property Office, which are now at the status of “patent pending”.

 

Ten years is not a long time, the Laboratory starts from scratch and keeps on moving. At the 10th anniversary of the Power Electric Laboratory, we prepare this web-site as the summary of our previous work. We hope by the efforts of all the colleagues, Power Electronics Laboratory will have a brighter future.
