Architecture & Topologies

Our Architectures & Topologies Research Unit is dedicated to developing high performance power converter systems for various automotive and industrial applications, with efficiency and/or power density beyond state-of-the-art technologies. Research topics cover different aspects of power converter system design and magnetics design, including advanced theoretical analysis, simulation and design methodologies, and practical design issues.

• Advanced design approach based on multi-domain modeling & multi-objective converter optimization for high-performance power converter systems:
  • Pushing the design limits of for power converter topologies and magnetic components based on advanced design technologies
  • Multi-domain modeling technologies for components and systems with improved accuracy
  • Multi-objective optimization technologies for components and systems
  • Advanced design platform to significantly accelerate the design process
  • High-performance control algorithm and fast design & verification approach
  • Sustainability analysis and life cycle assessment for power converter topologies
• Power converters with a rating of several Volt and Watt up to 1500V and 200kW for different AC/DC or DC/DC application
• Modelling and control design of individual converters up to whole systems such as DC microgrids and verification with power hardware in the loop
