The laboratory's objective is to carry out studies and projects related to the production, transportation, storage, and use of energy, emphasizing technologies that make use of primary renewable resources and energy vectors that can be obtained from the respective resources and also from the technologies that present energy efficiency gains, possibilities of cogeneration, with low emissions.
The research group operates in the fields of technological development and innovation in power electronics and brings together the experience of teacher-researchers in the use of energy produced by different alternative resources, such as solar, wind, fuel cells, and tides. The group's commitment is to meet the demands of Brazilian and international societies in industry, government, communities, and education sectors.
The research is aimed at developing, analyzing, and improvement of power electronics converters for the integration of alternative energy resources with the electrical network, as well as controlling and monitoring the impact of those devices in electrical power systems.
LAFAE also operates in the area of distributed generation, encompassing concepts of smart grids, microgrids, storage, and vehicle electrification, for both land and marine.
In addition, it participates in research and development projects in harnessing ocean energy and offshore applications such as offshore wind systems, multiterminal direct current electrical networks, and their impact on the National Interconnected System.
The experience in power electronics enables the group to develop static power converters for different applications, within the focus of technological innovation.
