High-efficiency Power Conversion & Systems
High-density, high-efficiency converter topologies and control strategies for AI data centres, EV charging and energy storage — targeting efficiencies above 99% and higher power density.
The challenge
AI computing is driving rapid growth in rack power density, putting pressure on efficiency, volume and thermal headroom in conventional power architectures. EV fast charging faces similar constraints.
Research focus
01
High-frequency topologies
Soft switching, multilevel and matrix converter structures.
02
High-density magnetics
Planar magnetics, integrated magnetics and loss modelling.
03
Digital control and current sharing
Dynamic response and stability in multiphase paralleling.
04
Thermal management and integration
Liquid cooling, double-sided cooling and power-density trade-offs.
Expected outcomes
- Data centre power reference design at 98%+ efficiency
- High-density on-board charger prototype
- Converter loss and thermal modelling tools
