The University continued to refine its technological research as two more Adamsonians presented their co-authored study  in the 13th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) PowerTech Conference held in Milan, Italy last June 23 to 27.

Dr. Angelo A. Beltran, Jr. of the Electronics Engineering (ECE) Department, together with Engr. Peter Mark Buay, an ECE alumnus and Prof. Ying-Yi Hong, a distinguished professor in Electrical Engineering Department from Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan, delivered the research presentation of the study titled Maximum Power Point Tracking of Photovoltaic System Using Taguchi-based Fuzzy Control.

The paper provides a new means of achieving a higher efficiency of solar photovoltaic system by means of Taguchi-based fuzzy logic method.

“International conferences are of paramount importance to scientists, engineers, and researchers because it is where we can share our new ideas with different experts from different nations. Conferences are also a good platform in order to meet and network with lead researchers who are experts in the field for possible research collaboration,” Dr. Beltran said, referring to the continuous development of research in the university.

The said paper will also be published in the IEEE Xplore database and will be further indexed in Scopus.

PowerTech Conference is a leading power engineering conference that showcases studies related to electrical power, energies, motor drives and control, power electronics and converters, smart grid and microgrid.
