3DP Lab - Development and research of materials for 3D printing in electrical engineering
Research topic
MaterialsThe 3DP Lab research group, based at the Department of Electrical Engineering, is engaged in materials research and development of new and advanced materials for 3D printing using FFF and SLA technologies with applications in electronics and electrical engineering.
AEDPE – Advanced Electric Drives and Power Electronics
Research topic
PowerThe 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.
Application and diagnostics of materials and nanomaterials
Research topic
MaterialsThe team is focused on the development of diagnostics for the evaluation of the properties of new types of environmentally friendly fasteners for electrical and electronics engineering, in particular lead-free solder joints, but also electrically conductive adhesives.
Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics
Founded in 2017 with support from the Czech government and the EU Structural and Investment Funds, CAP is an interdisciplinary research centre at CTU, linking the Faculties of Electrical Engineering, Architecture and Nuclear Sciences & Physical Engineering, as well as the University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings.
Heavy-current discharge group
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.
Laboratory of Intelligent Mobility and Energy Systems for Sustainability
LIMESS (Laboratory of Intelligent Mobility and Energy Systems for Sustainability) focuses on research and development of advanced technologies for sustainable mobility and energy. The main thrust is the integration of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology into electricity grids and the use of artificial intelligence to optimise energy systems. The aim is the efficient use of renewable energy sources and the development of smart solutions for sustainable development. Activities include the analysis of energy flows, the development of algorithms for predicting energy consumption and the design of systems for the dynamic distribution of energy resources. The lab collaborates with research institutions and industrial partners and supports the involvement of students in research projects.
Photovoltaics
The group mainly deals with diagnostics of photovoltaic cells and modules using new and standard methods. It also focuses on the optimization of photovoltaic (PV) systems and the possibilities of effective utilization of electrochemical sources in existing and new PV systems.
Solar cells and new materials for photovoltaics
Our group within the Department of Electrotechnology researches and develops new types of solar cells and materials. Our goal is to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic conversion, especially by using the so-called silicon-based tandem structure in combination with new materials. We deal with the preparation of the individual layers and finished devices using chemical and solid-state processes and their subsequent testing and optical characterization.
