9753160 Shireen Intelligent power distribution systems must be developed to switch, protect and manage the distribution of power in a number of applications. A key element in any power distribution system is the circuit breaker. A solid state, MOS-Controlled Thyristor (MCT) circuit breaker will be investigated, which promises lower conduction losses and higher operating temperatures than traditional devices, thereby enabling more efficient solid state switching. This grant provides the PI with opportunity to strengthen the Power Electronics and Power Conversion program at the University of Houston by establishing a well equipped graduate power electronics laboratory, and to serve as a visible role model, attracting and improving retention rates of young women in the power electronics field. ***

必须开发9753160 Shireen Intelligent Power分配系统，以切换，保护和管理许多应用中的功率分布。 任何电源分配系统中的关键要素是断路器。 将研究一个固态，MOS对照的晶闸管（MCT）断路器，该断路器有望比传统设备更低的传导损失和更高的工作温度，从而实现了更有效的固态切换。 该赠款为PI提供了通过建立设备齐全的研究生电力电子实验室，并作为可见的榜样，吸引和提高Power Electronics领域年轻女性的保留率，从而加强休斯敦大学的电力电子和电力转换计划。 ***
