M.E. Power Electronics and Drives at SSN
The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering has offered the M.E. program in Power Electronics and Drives since 2004, with a sanctioned intake of 18 students. This two-year program, aligned with Anna University’s eligibility criteria, has received a 5-year accreditation from the NBA. SSN is proud to have autonomous status granted by UGC, enhancing the program’s academic and research excellence.
Excellence in Power Electronics and Drives
The M.E. Power Electronics and Drives program, offered by the EEE Department, is renowned for its focus on power electronics, electric machines, and emerging technologies like renewable energy and electric vehicles. Key research areas include static power conversion, enhancing power systems, renewable energy interfaces, and advanced storage solutions like magnetic, battery, and flywheel systems. Leveraging artificial intelligence and IoT in power electronics further enriches the field. Electric machines and drives emphasize 2D and 3D electromagnetic design, Switched Reluctance Motors, BLDC, and Synchronous Reluctance Drives, catering to industrial applications and intelligent motion control systems.
Curriculum Overview
The new autonomous system allows for curriculum modernisation, equipping ME(PED) students with global competence, local relevance, and skill-oriented knowledge to enhance employability. A proposed three-credit course, “Electric Vehicles and Power Management,” will be offered in collaboration with ePropelled, a UK-based company, bringing expert insights into the rapidly evolving field.
