Laboratory facilities:
The Northeastern University Laboratory for
Energy Processing Systems was founded in 1994
by A.M. Stankovic. The Laboratory aims to improve
reliability and performance of energy processing
systems (which encompass power electronics,
electric drives and power systems), and foster
cross-fertilization between energy processing,
signal processing and control.
Its programs contain research and educational
components, and promote the natural synergy
between them. The laboratory is equipped with
a solid computer backplane
(several general purpose workstations,
networked to the ECE Department high power Unix
stations cluster and to the Internet, and several
networked PCs). The specialized software
includes EPRI suite of dynamical simulation
programs (ETMSP, SSSP, VSTAB etc.),
PSCAD simulator for power electronic
converters (in addition to a complete
version of Matlab/Simulink), and specialized
software for hardware experiments (dSpace).
It also includes hardware for experiments with
permanent magnet, induction and switched
reluctance servo drives.
