Electrical Drives and Power Converters for Electrical Vehicles and Renewable Generation
The goal of the project is to identify control challenges for specific applications due to advances in the supply chain and overcome them via advanced control and sensing methodologies.

Project detail:
Electrical vehicles and renewable generation are key developments leading to the CO2 zero emission target. Their main components are electrical machines, power electronic converters and batteries. There is a lot of recent advances in these areas providing higher efficiencies, smaller weight and size, faster response and switching characteristics. All these significantly influence control properties and protection algorithms of specific equipment and possess new challenges for corresponding control implementation in hardware and software/algorithms to be identified and overcome. A specific project is to be discussed with a potential applicant, and it will include analytical design, simulation and experiments via rapid control prototyping (or hardware-in-the-loop simulation) based on OPAL-RT or dSpace platforms. For any questions, please email Dr Oleh Kiselychnyk.
