Laboratoire plasma et conversion d’énergie - UMR5213

Maurice FADEL was born in Toulouse (France). He got the PhD degree at the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse in 1988, in the domain of the Control in Electric Engineering. He is currently a Professor in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs en Electrotechnique, d’Electronique, d’Informatique, d’Hydraulique et de Télécommunications of Toulouse (ENSEEIHT). In 1985 he as integrated the Laboratory of Electrotechnics and Industrial electronics (LEEI), mixed unit of research (CNRS-INPT). He was leading of the LEEI laboratory in 2005. From January 2007 until 31 December 2015 he was Deputy Director of the LAPLACE labatory (Laboratoire Plasma et Conversion d’ Energie). Since April 2013, he is president of PRIMES platform in Tarbes, which brings together industrialists and university researchers by providing tools for integration in Power Electronics (€ 10 million).

The field of scientific interest of Pr. Maurice FADEL concerns the modeling and the control of the electric systems more especially of the synchronous machine, the control law of the static converters with the help of direct predictive controls approach and the definition of control strategies for cooperative systems. The theme of improving energy efficiency through control is one of its axes of research.
