The Advanced Power Electronic Conversion Systems (APEX) Laboratory supports the development of advanced power conversion topologies and intelligent control strategies. Research in the APEX laboratory focuses on robust and fault-tolerant conversion systems for utility-scale energy storage. Applications of interest range from individual cell-level battery interfaces to cascaded and modular multilevel conversion systems. The laboratory consists of two components: a rapid prototyping system for ground-up development of new converter topologies and a fully bidirectional hardware-in-the-loop testbed.
