Concordia Power Electronics and Energy Research Group (PEER)n

 

The Power Electronics and Energy Research Group (PEER), formerly the Power Electronics Research Group (PERG), was initiated at Concordia University in 1986. The activities of the group are supported by grants from Federal and Provincial Granting Agencies, as well as industry.

 

 

PEER offers a curriculum in  static power converters and electric machines and drives that serves students at the university as well as

engineers already established in industry. The courses are offered on the Sir George Williams campus of Concordia University in downtown

Montreal.  PEER carries on all activities in an established teaching and research laboratory located in the EV building.  Further, PEER is

associated with the Hydro-Quebec sponsored Institute for Electrical Power Engineering.

 

 

 

 

Research activities of the group include:

  • Power electronic converters applied to distributed generation, particularly photo-voltaics, fuel cells and wind power
  • Modeling, design and simulation of high power converters for transmission and distribution systems
  • Application of power electronics with particular emphasis in the monitoring, control and protection of power systems using artificial intelligence techniques
  • Renewable energy systems including wind, solar fuel cells and biomass
  • Electric machines & drives for industrial, automotive and alternative energy applications
  • Electric & hybrid vehicles
  • Biomass heat and power optimization
  • Energy harvesting.
