Heavy-current discharge group

Research topic

Energy Power

The group conducts basic research of hot and dense plasmas, especially research into heavy-current discharges similar to lightning. Heavy-current discharge type z-pinch or plasma focus are characterized by their high efficiency of conversion of electric energy into the energy of plasma.

AEDPE – Advanced Electric Drives and Power Electronics

Research topic

Power

The research group AEDPE – Advanced Electric Drives and Power Electronics, operating at the Department of Electric Drives and Traction, focuses on the research and development of advanced control strategies for power electronics converters for both drive and non-drive applications. The main goal is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the converters and drives. Another area of interest is the mathematical modeling of drives and converters, including computer simulations of power electronics systems. We also explore the potential applications of modern transistors based on SiC and GaN in various DC and AC converter topologies and the design of the converters themselves.
