Moreover, we investigate algorithms and software techniques for the control of HVdc, medium voltage direct current (MVdc) and power electronics in electricity systems. We also design, model and test new topologies and controls of power electronic circuits at various power and voltage ratings. Our research relies on the analysis and development of models of multi-vector energy systems and networks. In so doing, we can provide expertise to industry and policymakers as well as other academics. Through rigorous academic research, we seek to expand our knowledge on topics such as wind and solar energy, high voltage direct current (HVdc), smart grids and integrated energy systems to name but a few. Two long-standing members, Professor Nick Jenkins and Professor Janaka Ekanayake, have been given a prestigious title of IEEE Fellows for their contribution to the group and to the research community. We now have 11 academic staff (including an EPSRC Fellow), 12 Post-Doctoral Research Associates, 4 International Training Network Marie Curie researchers and 29 PhD students.
The Centre for Integrated Renewable Energy Generation and Supply (CIREGS) was established in 2008 as a small multidisciplinary engineering research group with international expertise in both the supply and transmission of energy.
