RESEARCH

LEMUR is a multidisciplinary research team with researchers belonging to different knowledge areas within the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Oviedo: Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics and Automation and Control Engineering. The strength is based on synergies and knowledge integration among team members, incorporating a holistic view on complex research projects.

Our vision

Our vision is to develop technology for electrical energy management, generation and accumulation.

These technologies can be validated in a small-scale hybrid dc/ac micro-grid, rating up to 250 kVA. The demonstrator allows for the connection of the different levels, from the internal devices up to the grid-operator management infrastructure.

The multidisciplinary nature of the group allows us to undertake projects ranging from power electronics, industrial electronics, converter control and the implementation of generation and distributed storage resources to the modeling, analysis, monitoring and operation in real time of large-scale distribution systems with high penetration of distributed generation, renewable energy, electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

OUR RESEARCH LINES

Design of power electronics converters with an emphasis of multiport topologies for energy storage applications. Analysis, modeling, optimization and reliability of power electronic converters and components (gate drivers, magnetic elements).

icono lemur dinamic

Dynamic analysis and control of grid-tied power converters

Enhanced dynamic performance of power converters for distributed energy resources integration and microgrid contol. Implementation of converter-level control for grid-tied distributed energy resources. Non-linear, predictive and adaptive enhanced control systems, considering system uncertainties and variability.

Power systems analysis

Power systems analysis, modeling and simulation

Algorithms design and implementation applied to power systems and railway traction networks. Conventional and optimal power flow, state estimation, contingency and stability analysis, economic dispatch, trading systems and real time digital twins.

Distribution systems

Distribution systems and energy efficiency real time monitoring, management and operation

Tools development for distribution systems operation, aggregation services, energy management at grid level and building level and virtual power plants, enabling the integration of distributed resources, energy storage and EVs within the systems.

Industrial applications

Industrial applications and knowledge transfer

By its nature, LEMUR research group does not focus only on our basic research lines, but also applied research very close to industry and with high TRL levels. Knowledge transfer and industrial collaborations are a fundamental part of our research.
