The Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) Power Electronics and Electric Machinery Research Center
(PEEMRC) is the U.S. Department of Energy's premiere broad-based
research center for power electronic and electric machinery development. During this decade, the Center
has dramatically advanced the technology of soft-switched inverters, multilevel inverters, DC-DC converters,
motor control techniques, and efficient, compact electric machines.
Areas of Expertise:
- Advanced Power Electronics
- Electric Machines
- Thermal Control
- Power Quality and Utility Interconnection
PEEMRC is designated as a National User Facility. The designation encourages
collaborative efforts between the PEEMRC, industry, and academia. The most
advanced analysis, simulation, and design software is available to the PEEMRC staff
to implement state-of-the art circuit and motor designs. The PEEMRC provides a
broad-based capability to generate data and analyze advanced power electronic
and electric machinery devices. These capabilities are provided at the user's
expense.
There are many ways to work with PEEMRC including a cooperative research and development agreement, a work for others agreement, or a user agreement. Each agreement is developed based on a user's desire to protect research results or inventions.
