The University of Seville
Power Electronics Group
The Power Electronics Group (PEG) is a
Research Laboratory that belongs to the
Electronic Technology Group (GTE) of the
University of Seville (Spain). The PEG is an
international research centre for power
electronics and industrial applications.
The Group is formed by around 8 aca-
demic staff, 4 post-doctoral and PhD
researchers, and a grant portfolio of
€3M. Its strategy focuses on the energy
and transportation sectors with an im-
portant activity in the renewable energy
fields. The activities range from basic
technology research to applied research,
culminating with industrial prototypes
development.
Our main R+D topics are:
•
Power Converter Topologies and
Control
•
Power Electronics for the Integration
of Renewable Energy Systems
•
Grid codes requirements
•
Energy Storage Systems: Last genera-
tion batteries, supercapacitors,
flywheels
•
Transmission, Distribution and Micro-
Grid Power Electronics (HVDC, FACTS)
•
Power Electronics for Electrical and
Hybrid Vehicles Transportation Systems
•
Aerospace Applications
We can highlight facilities such as:
•
