Our group is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of the control, production, transmission and consumption of electrical energy. To achieve this goal, we develop models, electronic devices and software for the analysis of electromagnetic transients in power systems and power electronic circuits. Students work in conjunction with industry leading minds on the development of these models and solution techniques, providing them with useful hands-on experience.
Electricity is considered by some as one of the fundamental pillars of our generation’s economic progress, political stability and social wellbeing. In North America, the demand for electrical energy has been increasing at a rate of 2% per year for the past 25 years. These trends are not only limited to North America; world wide, the demand for electricity is expected to double in the next 20 years. The result of this incredible electrical demand is that the North American electrical power system has been predicted to exceed the generation capacity within the next 5 to 15 years. Innovative research in this field will ensure that there is a continual, reliable and secure supply of electricity for future generations to come.
