.....Delta Power Electronics Laboratory, Inc. (DPEL) was founded in 1989 as the Advanced Research and Development unit of Delta Electronics, Inc., Taiwan. From 1989 until 1998, DPEL was located in the Corporate Research Center of Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. In July 1998, DPEL was moved to Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, where it became a part of Delta Products Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Delta Electronics, Inc.

.....The primary mission of DPEL is the development and evaluation of advanced power-conversion technologies aimed at assuring the continuation of Delta's technological competence, as well as the preservation of Delta's leadership position in the power conversion marketplace. In addition, DPEL plays a pivotal role in the continuing education of Delta's engineers worldwide by conducting training courses on a variety of power electronics topics.

.....The focus of DPEL's R&D activities has been primarily in the area of AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies for computer and telecom applications. Currently, DPEL is working on the development of new topologies for high power-density workstation and server power supplies, design optimization methods for low output-voltage ac/dc and dc/dc power supplies, development of state-of-the-art power conversion technologies for portable data-processing equipment, design optimization of VRMs, and the development of high-performance single- and three-phase power-factor-correction techniques.
