Two Front Range leaders in power conversion collaborate to
investigate applications of advanced power topologies and control
techniques
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global
leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion,
measurement and control solutions – today announced it has
partnered with the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) to
investigate applications of advanced power topologies and control
techniques for emerging process power applications in a sponsored
three-year program, with sponsorship support from AE’s Bob Porter
Fellowship grant.
The collaboration encompasses creative endeavors combined with
the most innovative resources from two Front Range leaders in power
conversion—Advanced Energy (AE) and CU Boulder—whose goal is to
enable new thin film process technologies and enhance the
performance and reach of existing process approaches. The predicted
outcome for the project, with respect to application flexibility,
will have a broader impact on the efficiency of both cost and power
conversion.
The first-of-its-kind research project is led by principal
investigators John Dorrenbacher, AE’s senior technical staff member
of innovation, and Dr. Dragan Maksimovic, endowed professor of
electrical, computer and energy engineering at CU Boulder, who is
an internationally recognized leader in power electronics research
and education.
“We are honored to partner with world-renowned CU Boulder, whose
researchers are empowered to explore new areas of energy science by
leveraging resources and talents across the university’s dedicated
institutes,” said Dr. Isabel Yang, chief technology officer,
Advanced Energy. “Dr. Maksimovic’s work reflects CU Boulder’s
commitment to advancing energy-efficient and renewable energy
technologies, and in so doing, sparking commercial opportunity,
driving global impact and shaping tomorrow’s leaders in the
field.”
Dr. Maksimovic co-founded CU Boulder’s Colorado Power
Electronics Center (CoPEC) in 1998 and has since served as the
CoPEC co-director. CoPEC’s research program in smart power
electronics and digital control for high-frequency switched-mode
power converters has attracted significant support from numerous
industrial sponsors and agencies (NSF, DARPA, ARPA-E, DOE, ONR,
DOEd). A Fellow of the IEEE, he has published over 300 papers in
journals and at professional conferences and holds over 30 US
patents.
Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo., AE is a global leader
engineering the world’s most advanced power supplies and solutions
for semiconductor and industrial manufacturers. AE combines diverse
precision power and control technologies with technical expertise
and support to ignite innovation around the world.
