Profile

Photograph of the laboratory for power electronics and drive systems with a wide range of laboratory equipment and many devices and machines. In the foreground, electrical machines are mounted on a pedestal. The double tables with experimental setups can be seen in the background. On the right-hand side is the window front facing the inner courtyard of the student workstations.

The laboratory for power electronics and drive systems has a large number of power semiconductors, measuring devices, rectifiers and inverters, as well as frequency converters. This makes it easy to carry out calculations and measurements. The available frequency converters and drive systems enable the precise investigation of industrial applications. A dedicated machine set enables the simulation of complex systems.

Calculations and simulations are carried out using PC-supported software. The software packages consist of self-developed programs and standard software. Computer workstations are available to enable direct processing of the measured values.

This gives our students the opportunity to carry out simulations based on programming in the Delphi language and to compare the results directly with measurements.
