The Utilisation Group has established a reputation in the field
of power electronics, machines, drives and traction system,
notably in the areas of power conversion and railways
engineering. The power electronics area includes static power
conversion, the application of power electronics to improve the
performance of power systems, renewable resources, magnetics,
battery and superconducting energy storages and use of
artificial intelligence in power electronics. The machine and
drive areas cover the machines design and motion control
research work. They include intelligent motion control, 2D and
3D actuation systems, condition monitoring, induction
generators, switched reluctance motor drives and soft-switching
drives. The transportation research work includes traction
system, traffic control, sensors in rail track and electric
vehicle.
Our aims are to use the above experience to help local industry
and the region to improve competitiveness through consultancy
services, cooperative projects and research development of new
technologies. We have 7 academic staff members and over 25
research personnel and with total research funding of more than
HK$10 million in the last two years. We have published over 40
Journal papers in the last 2 years. We recently established a
Power Electronics Research Centre which is devoted to provide
facilities, research and development for industry. We also
organise international and local conferences and seminars
regularly to serve both the industry and researchers.
