      Institute of Electric Power Systems

      The main areas of our work are power electronic systems and drives, as well as power grids.

      In our group, we combine industrial experience with scientific research. State-of-the-art knowledge, tools and lab equipment allows us to support your innovation project.

      Competences

      • Electrical Machines

        Electrical and electromechanical energy converters like motors, generators, and transformers, play an important role in our energy supply system.

      • Power Control

        We are a competence group offering system level solutions in control, optimization, and signal processing in the fields of power systems and energy conversion.

      • Power Electronics and Drives

        We develop, test, and optimize power electronic components and systems.

      • Power Systems

        Using modern simulation tools and state-of-the-art test facilities, we provide expertise for vendors and utilities on all grid levels.

      Projects

      • SHINE: Swiss Hybrid Inverter

        An efficient and cost-effective X-Hybrid inverter for EV is realized by combining Silicon-Carbide (SiC) and Silicon (Si) devices.

      • Battery-Management-Systems for 2nd-Life Lithium Batteries

        Do we need improved battery management systems (BMS) to establish Li-ion batteries on the market, built from cells that have been already in use?

      • Power electronics for variable power control of boilers

        With the help of a silicon controlled rectifier, the power of a hot water boiler can be adjusted precisely according to the current excess PV output power...
