Lambda and Sheffield to research improved power densities 24/09/2007
 
ac/dc power supplies, power density, university collaboration Lambda UK is investing $100,000 in a collaborative research project with The University of Sheffield. Lambda’s technical director Robin Jeffery (pictured) said: “We hope that this is the start of a long standing relationship that will demonstrate the capabilities of UK industry and academic research cooperation.”
The initial 12 month project is with the University’s Electrical Machines and Drives (EMD) Group, with the aim of evaluating methods for improving the power density of ac/dc power supplies. Lambda is hoping the research can be commercialised within the next five years.
According to Jeffery, the EMD Group impressed due to a number of factors, including its experience in a broad range of relevant disciplines, including advanced power semiconductor research, efficiency improvement in electrical and electronic systems and mechanical design.
