Welcome to the
Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium!
The Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC) is a technology center at the University of Wisconsin‐Madison. WEMPEC began in January 1981 with a mission to provide education, research, and service. With the support of more than 40 corporate members, our team of professors, staff, graduate students, and international scholars work together to research and develop the newest technologies and techniques in electric machines, power electronics, actuators, sensors, drives, motion control, and drive applications.
