The lab deals with fundamental and current questions concerning the generation, distribution and conversion of electrical energy. Modern power electronics is a focal point of this laboratory. The laboratory is located in the new G-building and is close to the Laboratory for Electrical Machines and Drives, where questions concerning the design and operation of electrical machines and their control are dealt with.
Laboratory for electrical power generation and conversion (G009)
Goals and idea
Power electronics is necessary for the control of controlled electrical machines so there is a close connection between these two topics. In the Laboratory for Electrical Power Generation and Conversion, study-related internships and projects take place and application-oriented research projects are carried out in cooperation with industrial partners, research institutes and partner universities.
- Analysis of power electronic converters
- Analysis of electrical power networks
- Optimization of control engineering for converters and multi-converter systems
- Implementation of research projects
