In the Research Division Power Electronics, we conduct research on particularly power-dense, efficient, high-performance energy converters for energy transition, mobility and digitalization.

Our expertise ranges from system and circuit design, control concepts, mechanical, thermal and electrical system integration to heterogeneous integration and packaging. We use modern model-based design methods and verify our prototype setups with the help of our well-equipped laboratory infrastructure.

• Highly efficient power converters & inverters with focus on resonant topologies aiming for compact hardware designs with high switching frequency.
• Embedded passive power components including improved performance factor with special attention to magnetic component optimization and novel fabrication techniques. 
• Emerging control engineering theory supported by signal processing, AI and high bandwidth controller hardware to enable full system/component utilization and lifetime optimized control.
• Multiphysics simulation for power electronics optimization & design. Multi-rate, multi-domain simulation for multi-objective, efficiency/lifetime/volume system optimization including EMC.
• Model based design for EMC in power electronics via incorporation of EMC from beginning in the design by simulation to reduce the number of design cycles, minimize the filter size and component count.
• Power device packaging and characterization utilizing heterogeneous integration technologies and electrical, thermal, thermomechanical characterization & test.

We are looking for new partners for our exciting projects. Become part of our consortium and benefit from our attractive co-financing.
