Research and Development

Research in the Department of Electric Drives and Traction focuses on several key areas. The main activities include research into power semiconductor converters and their control, which find application in both "drive" and "non-drive" applications. Another important direction is the study of modulation strategies for inverters and algorithms for the optimization and efficient control of electric drives. Researchers are also working on the hardware design of power converters and the programming of their control processors.

Teaching at the university
