Description

The Control and Electronics Laboratory of the IOC has the equipment required for experimental work on research projects and industrial project implementations undertaken by researchers from the control division of the IOC. The members of this division were mainly associated with the Advanced Control of Energy Systems (ACES) research group, until the present SGR grant call. After this grant call, the research group will change its name to Advanced Control and Power Electronics Systems (ACaPE).

The areas of study and research of the members of the group are: control theory and engineering, power electronics and energy conversion, and quality problems in electrical networks.
