DESCRIPTION:One of the major strategic problems that the modern society wi
 ll constantly face is the procurement and distribution of good quality of 
 energy. The consumption of energy has been increasing incessantly due to i
 ndustrial requirements as well as improvement of living standards all over
  the world. Properly developed power electronics technology is the answer 
 to an efficient use of more flexible good quality\, and unpolluted electri
 c energy. Relevant issues related to modeling\, control\, simulation\, ele
 ctromagnetic high integration systems and the development of hardware for 
 power electronics circuits aimed at reducing losses in the multiple conver
 sion stages\, and delivering acceptable power quality is the key research 
 area. The strategic vision of the research programme will be on\, one hand
 \, focused on the fundamental research on novel converter topologies\, new
  high density packaging techniques\, new modeling techniques\, new control
  strategies of these converters\, and on the other\, on the development of
  industrial technologies in three key sectors:\n\n# Electrical networks in
  terms of energy efficiency and power quality supply\;\n# Aerospace and te
 lecommunications systems in terms of power supplies\; and\n# Mass transit 
 industry\, with zero emission using electric traction system.\n
