In the 1970s, a small group of pioneering researchers in industry and academia laid the foundation for the modern discipline of solid-state power electronics. In 1981, the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC) was established by Professors Donald W. Novotny and Thomas A. Lipo at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prof. Robert D. Lorenz joined the WEMPEC program faculty in 1984, adding his expertise and passion for motor drive controls.
In the 1970s, a small community of pioneering researchers around the world in industry and academia were laying the groundwork for the discipline of solid-state power electronics as we know it today. Near the end of that formative period, the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC) was founded in 1981 by Profs. Donald W. Novotny and Thomas A. Lipo at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prof. Robert D. Lorenz joined the embryonic WEMPEC program faculty in 1984, bringing his unique expertise and passion for motor drive controls.
