Project Description:

Exploration of novel converter topologies for domestic applications.

The control of electrical power converters plays a significant role in delivering the optimal system efficiency and performance - especially as system parameters vary with tolerances and change over time. 
I will be exploring novel converter topologies and control methods to improve the noise, efficiency and life of future products and will deliver novel integrated demonstrators to showcase the gains possible.
