Welcome to the Electric Power and Energy Systems (EPES) Research Laboratory

Welcome to the website of Electric Power and Energy Systems (EPES) Research Laboratory located at the Room ES211/ES211A of the Engineering Science Building of the University of Memphis. I serve as the Director of the Lab where the main research focus is on the smart grid/micro-grid control, cybersecurity issues, electric vehicle charging system & station, renewable energy systems (mainly solar and wind energies), 5G technology, and Loads forecasting & scheduling in smart building. Over the years, the Lab is conducting research on transient stability control & power quality issues of advanced power systems, cyber security issues and solutions to modern power grids, dynamic wireless charging systems, time delay impact, and geomagnetically induced current (GIC). In case of renewable energy systems, the main research focus is about the smart solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter design, minimization of power & voltage fluctuations, and fault ride through capability improvement of variable speed wind turbine generators and PV systems. Also, the Lab performs research on modeling and simulations of various energy storage systems, like supercapacitor energy storage, battery energy storage and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems. Currently 4 Ph.D., 5 Masters, and 3 undergraduate students are working in the Lab.

We have an excellent facility and a highly motivated team that focuses on the application of state-of-the-art technology to modern applications. Results from our research have been patented and published in various top-ranked journal and international conference venues. The EPES Lab always aims at performing innovative, original and high quality research, making patents, and also publishing the research findings in peer-reviewed and top-ranked international journals and conferences. This website presents a summary of research areas, and current interests of our group. I invite you to explore our website and appreciate your interest.
