Welcome to Power Electronics and Power Systems Website
The University of Tennessee Power Engineering Laboratory is known for its high
quality research contributions in power system analysis, power system reliability, power quality,
power electronic converters, control of motor drives,
and silicon carbide based power electronic systems.
The University of Tennessee's Power Engineering program is one of the top 20 power engineering programs in the U.S. based on research funding, number of students, and students graduated.
Faculty members involved with research in the laboratory include
Dr. Fangxing "Fran" Li,
Dr. Jack Lawler, Dr. Leon Tolbert,
and Dr. Kevin Tomsovic.
Dr. B. K. Bose is emeritus,but still active at the university.
Faculty and graduate students also participate in The University of Tennessee's
Graduate Automotive Technology Education (GATE) Center, which has an
emphasis on drive trains and control systems for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
Since 2000, 11 Ph.D. students and 18 M.S. students have graduated from this laboratory
and more than $3 million in research funding has been obtained from sources such as
the National Science Foundation, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, EPRI, and several companies.
The laboratory also has close collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory's
National Transportation Research Center (NTRC),
Power Electronics and Electric Machinery Research Center (PEEMRC), and the
Power Systems Research Center. The laboratory has also collaborated with the Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI), which has an office in Knoxville,
and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
Graduate students, research scholars, and visiting professors from different countries
(Bangladesh, Brazil, China, France, India, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, United States) have done
various advanced projects in the laboratory.
Members of the Power Engineering Laboratory conduct research in the following areas:
- Power Electronics Interface with Distributed Energy Sources
- Modeling Silicon Carbide Power Electronics Devices and Systems
- Reactive Power Compensators for Power Systems
- Genetic and Agent-Based Algorithms for Controlling Distributed Energy Sources
- Impact on System Imbalance with Distributed Generators
- Neural Network Techniques for Fault Detection in Inverters
- Unbalanced Three-phase Load Flow in Distribution Systems
- Power System Reliability and Risk Analysis
- Advanced Computing Technique in Power System Analysis
- Power System Economics and Market Simulation
- DC-DC Converters and Traction Drives for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
- Power Electronics Based Field-Weakening
- Finite Element Analysis of Permanent Magnet Machines
