Electrical Drives and Mechatronic Systems

Our electric drive research includes service and development work for industrial partners (mostly contract research) as well as basic research (mostly publicly funded). Focus topics are:

  • Performance control of electrical drive systems on (micro-)processors and FPGAs
    • Optimal field-oriented control
    • Model predictive control (finite and continuous control set)
    • Data-driven control based on reinforcement learning
    • Multi-objective and hierarchical control frameworks
       
  • System identification and monitoring
    • Precise electrical and mechatronic modeling based on offline and online estimation techniques
    • Real-time model-based temperature monitoring of arbitrary drive components
    • Fault detection and emergency measures (functional safety)
    • Modeling frameworks from white-box to black-box including data-driven machine learning

Below you will find a selection of the publicly funded research projects of our chair. In addition, you will find further insights into our research work in our publication list.
