About Us
The Power Electronics and Electrical Power Systems Research Center (PEEPSRC) is designated as a DOE User Facility. The designation encourages collaborative efforts between the PEEPSRC, industry, and academia. The most advanced analysis, simulation, and design software is available to the PEEPSRC staff to implement state-of-the art circuit and motor designs. The Power Electronics and Electric Machinery Research Group (PEEMRG) 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.
Also within PEEPSRC, is the Power and Energy Systems Group. This research group focuses on the need for power electronics switches with the capability for high voltage, high speed, with little or no cooling requirements, and a favorable cost-to-value relationship. New approaches or materials (silicon, carbide, or diamond) that are not currently used today in power electronics are being explored. Working in this voltage and current domain requires research into the properties and suitability of advanced materials.
There are many ways to work with the PEEPSRC 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.
