Research Team - „Energy Saving Electrical Engineering Equipment“
Research Direction:
Contemporary requirements for technical solutions in field of industrial production are characterised by high-level intensification, minimal consumption and optimisation of technological processes, which cohere with topical questions of electrical energy savings that are priorities of the research across the world.
Consequently, the research is aimed to development of more sophisticated, more energy saving and smaller sized power semiconductor converters for electrical engineering systems in the area of electrical drives, for design of new control methods of electrical drives with high dynamics and taking into consideration energetic optimisation of the control.
