The EPE program is function-oriented and innovative on relevant industrial development. The applications focus on new research topics for renewable energy, electric vehicles, modern power systems, smart grid with emphasis on power electronic applications for grid interface, distribution and transmission level integration, and interconnections. The program dedicates its research towards developing Abu Dhabi’s future power systems. Dr. Fred Moavenzadeh, President, Masdar Institute, said: ‘Our academic programs contribute to enhancing specific skills sets of students in clean energy and sustainable technologies. We aim to create the leaders of tomorrow with capabilities to manage smart power grids and intelligent transport systems, as directed by the country’s leadership. Expansion of existing programs will further strengthen our interdisciplinary course offerings, while providing wider options for students to select their area of academic pursuit.’ Over the last year, the EPE faculty and students have presented a record 18 papers at major international conferences and reviewed more than 100 journal submissions, while the expertise of the Masdar EPE has been recognized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) societies, including industrial electronics, power electronics and power & energy systems. Dr. Hatem Zeineldin, Head of Electrical Power Engineering, said: ‘The accomplishments of the EPE program can be measured by the publications and international conference appearance. Since September 2011, among four EPE faculty members, 15 peer-reviewed journal papers have been published and accepted by the renowned international journals, including 13 IEEE transactions. These were in addition to a US patent that aims to bridge the R&D technology development on smart grid and renewable energy systems that remain relevant to Abu Dhabi’s future energy plan.’ Comments Showing 0 comments comments powered by DISQUS 0 Print this story Recommend 0 Send Login Add New Comment Type your comment here.
