Our research is dedicated to the control and flow of electric energy efficiency using advanced power electronics and electromechanical devices. These areas have widespread applications in today’s industry such as in oil/gas, automotive, marine, etc. Implementation of electromechanical devices in high impact automotive, aerospace, and off shore applications requires a new generation of design and control strategies known as “fault tolerant design.” In fact, fault tolerance and durability plays a central role in the design and development of advanced auxiliary motor drives in such applications. This, in turn, calls for a modular configuration in respective magnetic and electronics architecture of modern motor drives.
