2 Contract Details

2.1

Title

Modular Compound Semiconductor Convertor

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Modular and reconfigurable power electronic prototyping converters using wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors to allow investigation of both conventional Silicon and novel WBG semiconductors-based converters as battery charging systems and other power electronic applications. Two sets of the converters will be required to investigate back-to-back and parallel operation.

A control unit together to operate the converters. The control unit should accept instructions in compatible software MATLAB/Simulink and should also be able to view waveforms in real time when doing experiments.

The procurement of the equipment specified in the ITT document is timely as the university expands its research in battery and its applications such as electric vehicles. The laboratory will enable realistic studies, analysis, and understanding of representative systems to be investigated in future years.
