Power Electronic & Electrical Machine Design tutorial for CPE 2026
Power Electronic & Electrical Machine Design for High-Power & Renewable Applications - a tutorial at The University of Edinburgh, as part of CPE 2026
This full day tutorial, co-sponsored between the Centre for Power Electronics & the EPSRC Net-Zero Enabling Electrical Engineering (N-ZEEE) Network+, will cover both introductory and advanced topics in the design of power electronic. A focus will be on Megawatt scale power-electronics and electrical generator for renewable applications such as solar, wind, tidal and wave. Topics in power-electronics will include advanced converter and busbar design using widebandgap power devices, dV/dt management and gate-driving. Topics in electrical machines will also include design of low-speed high-torque generator systems, considerations for reductions in rare earth magnet usage an dintroduction to superconducting electrical machine design and future applications of this technology in aerospace and renewable applications.
