Power Electronics Laboratory For Sustainable Energy Research

York University's Advanced Power Electronics Laboratory for Sustainable Energy Research (PELSER) focuses on the development of leading-edge power electronics technologies for renewable energy systems and sustainable energy applications.

Research at PELSER focuses on the utilization of power electronics to create highly efficient and reliable power converter systems for renewable energy applications. While the generation of energy is important, efficient use of energy is also vital to minimize energy costs and unnecessary stress on our utility grid. Innovative and intelligent power electronic interface design is the key for enabling electronic devices to consume less energy, be cost effective and more reliable.
