About
TERATAM Research Group at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok has a long history in producing highly trained and qualified personnel for industries along with undertaking breakthrough research in different domains of Power Systems. Our group is the main provider of power system engineers in Bangkok. This is one of the strongest groups in Thailand working closely with the local electrical generator and authority company such as MEA, PEA and EGAT, on power systems engineering technologies.
Following its vision of becoming a world leading research group though innovation, performance and service, fueled by the growing Thailand economy, we have a very ambitious program for electric vehicle charger development and smart system renewal and plans to expand the share of our technology transfer in total smart grid and EV equipments in the Thailand to 50% by 2030. A large number of power engineers and researchers with strong power systems knowledge and skills will be needed in the coming decade. This has also triggered huge R&D and educational opportunities in this area in the Thailand.
Research Goals
- To become a strong and internationally-recognized group in power systems research and to establish itself as one of the best in South East Asia;
- To conduct cutting-edge power systems research and develop state-of-the-art research facilities;
- To play a key role in supporting the local power utility company to set up a safe, reliable and sustainable smart grid in the Thailand;
- To transfer the technology developed in the research laboratories to industry and to help industries capture opportunities related to development of smart grids and electric vehicle chargers worldwide;
- To attract first-class students and train and nurture them to be young power engineers; and
- To foster an international and sustainable academia-industry collaboration.
