Power Electronics and Machines Laboratory

The Power Electronics and Machines Laboratory is a newly established facility within the College of Engineering at Prince Sultan University. This laboratory is dedicated to hands-on instruction and experimentation in the areas of power electronics, electric machines, and motor control systems. It serves as a crucial platform for bridging theoretical coursework with real- world applications in energy conversion and electric drive systems. The lab is designed to support:

• Analysis and design of power electronic circuits (converters, inverters, rectifiers)
• Testing and operation of DC and AC machines
• Motor drive control and performance evaluation
• Renewable energy interface experiments
• Industrial applications involving electric power systems

The lab services the following courses:

• EE305 – Power Electronics.
• EE304 – Electrical Machines
• EE403 – Power Systems
• EE332 – Control systems
• EE 454 – Power System planning
• EE456 – Renewable Energy Engineering

Additional senior design projects and research initiatives related to power systems and smart grids are also supported within this lab.

• Power electronics devices trainer kits
• DC and AC electric machines (motors and generators)
• Single phase and three phase transformers
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs)
• Digital multimeters, clamp meters, oscilloscopes and regulated power supplies
• Microcontroller and DSP-based motor control kits
• Latest configuration computers installed with simulation software such as NI Multisim, MATLAB, code composer studio, STM Cube IDE, and trainer kits interfacing applications
