One of the major strategic problems that the modern society will constantly face is the procurement and distribution of good quality of energy. The consumption of energy has been increasing incessantly due to industrial requirements as well as improvement of living standards all over the world. Properly developed power electronics technology is the answer to an efficient use of more flexible good quality, and unpolluted electric energy. Relevant issues related to modeling, control, simulation, electromagnetic high integration systems and the development of hardware for power electronics circuits aimed at reducing losses in the multiple conversion stages, and delivering acceptable power quality is the key research area. The strategic vision of the research programme will be on, one hand, focused on the fundamental research on novel converter topologies, new high density packaging techniques, new modeling techniques, new control strategies of these converters, and on the other, on the development of industrial technologies in three key sectors:

1. Electrical networks in terms of energy efficiency and power quality supply;
2. Aerospace and telecommunications systems in terms of power supplies; and
3. Mass transit industry, with zero emission using electric traction system.
