North Carolina A&T State University Facilities
NCA&T lab is located in the Autonomous Control and Information Technology Engineering (ACITE) Center in the Industrial Research Center (IRC) building at NCA&T. The power electronics lab is almost 3,200 sq.ft. The self-sufficient NASA-ACITE lab incorporates its own domain and internet servers as well as video conferencing room that is used to communicate and collaborate with other research universities in the United States. The Center houses a state-of-the-art cross-platform computing environment comprised of Microsoft Windows, SUN Solaris, and a silicon graphics IRIX server. Modeling and control algorithms are implemented in software using the state-of-the-art versions of simulation and modeling software tools, such as Saber, I-DEAS, MATLAB, SIMULINK, FLOTHERM, and I-SIGHT. The hardware facilities for research in power electronics include digital storage oscilloscopes, current probes, AC control power supply, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, power analyzer, RLC meter, PC-based online controller and low-voltage DC power supplies. Besides developing this research lab, NCA&T has begun the initial study to equip a teaching lab for power electronics.
