Welcome

The Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in cooperation with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have established the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS). Also in association with CAPS is the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium.

This center focuses on advanced power technologies with particular emphasis on transportation systems, as well as traditional utility systems. The center is developing an academic-industrial consortium focused on the application of recent advances in power semiconductors, materials, advanced controls and superconductivity to advanced power system technologies.

A brief background, history, and capabilities are described in the overview and capabilities document.
