The Instrumentation and Industrial Elec-
tronic Laboratory (LEII), with its 16 staff
members, has two divisions: Power Elec-
tronics Division and Electronic Instrumen-
tation Division. The Power Electronics
Division is responsible for power elec-
tronics education at the University of
Valencia and carries out government
and industry projects. Research activities
cover various areas related with high-
efficiency power converters: power elec-
tronics for e-Mobility infrastructure,
aerospace power systems, high power
resonant converters for industrial ap-
plications, advanced control techniques
and power devices characterization.
