Capabilities
The laboratory and equipment support power electronics measurement for multiple Â鶹´«Ã½ and faculty research projects. It is now supporting Ph.D. work in neural networks for harmonic estimation and elimination. It has also supported high school Â鶹´«Ã½s from Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center who learn to do basic I/O programming in the real world. In the lab, a power pole board can be re-configured to support Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost converters. The same board can also be re-configured as a single-phase DC – AC inverter. The power pole board can be interfaced to a Motorola HC12-based microcontroller board and can used for various power electronics circuit configurations and applications.
