Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Manitoba
$100,000.00
Efficient Utilization of Electric Power
FY 2023-24
Summary
As a Canada Research Chair, Dr. Ho has studies Low Voltage micro-grid technologies, power electronics grid-connected converters, and their controls. He is developing new technologies to support increased harvesting of renewable and clean energy, lower energy losses, higher power quality, and a more reliable platform for simulating power apparatuses in a grid. Over the next 5 years, Dr. Ho will extend this research by focusing on Medium Voltage grid-level technologies that interconnect micro-grids and minimizes the energy fluctuations caused by renewable energy integration. This work is based on the outcomes of his pilot research and his expanding industrial collaborations.
