Abstract

Energy conversion is everywhere. Motors, generators, and power electronics process terawatts of power to cool buildings, manufacture products, and propel vehicles. Their prominence will only increase as society harnesses different sources of energy and faces new demand from emerging technology. Luckily, there are incredible opportunities to build robust and efficient energy machines using innovative electronics and algorithms. In this talk, Thomas will discuss sensing and signal processing approaches for monitoring energy systems. Measurements from shipboard microgrids and laboratory experiments demonstrate the techniques. Finally, he will discuss exciting future research directions in energy conversion devices and energy system monitoring.
