OBJECTIVES

The research undertaken by GAEI underpins a sustainable environment by developing efficient devices and control strategies for electric energy conversion.

The laboratory facilities are used to develop new actuators than can be employed in a variety of applications, these including renewable energy systems, vehicular power distribution technology, and power supplies for industrial use. The aim of the research is improving the electrical power processing involved in low -power systems in order to reduce the energy consumed by the associated electronic circuits while increasing their functional capability.

GAEI's expertise comprises DC power distribution in vehicles and microgrid systems, bidirectional conversion in electric vehicles, and power conditioning for fuel cells.

GAEI's education mission is to provide with knowledge for both Master and Ph.D. programs of the Electrical Electronic and Automatic Control Engineering Department by promoting multi-disciplinary and systems-oriented training to its students in a team cooperation environment.
