While unconventional energy sources and storage solutions have recently emerged, power electronics increasingly rises to an efficient interface between wide-ranging sources and applications. The diffusion of the power converters nowadays affects the majority of industrial and mass consumption domains over a large scale of power levels.
Our team has chosen for the last ten years to focus on ground breaking researches. Those are aiming to improve the design of the next electrical energy management systems, both on the technological and conceptual level. Therefore, power integration has become a unifying topic in our team. We are working towards conceiving and laying the technological foundations required for our domain's improvement. The team is also pursuing research on modeling tools development to better answer our design needs for packaging and electromagnetic compatibility.
To reach those goals, three interdependent topics are investigated:

•     Integration technologies, both monolithic and hybrid, from the chip to the converter and its cooling system,

•     Modeling and design tools for passive components and electromagnetic systems,

•    Power converters design and promotion for unconventional energies and power grids.

The power electronics team includes 17 faculty members (15 associate professors and professors, 2 CNRS research scientists), 27 PhD students and 20 Bachelor and Master's students.
