Efforts in this direction have included:
• Investigation and development of PEBB based multi-functional
converters by development of appropriate application level control
architectures
• Development of lower level control functions to
cope with small scale power system concerns
such as distorted voltages, high frequency
variability, and EMI.
• Consideration of parallel operation and system
level control issues of multiple power electronic
converters
