The Department of Electric Drives and Energy Conversion was established in 2007 by separating a team cooperating with prof. Zbigniew Krzemiński. The initial name of the Department of Electric Drive Automation was expanded to its present form in 2017 in connection with the expansion of the research area of the team.
The main areas of research of the Department are: original methods of controlling electric machines based on a multiscalar model and non-linear control, advanced state observers for sensorless drive systems, diagnostic algorithms for electric machines and drive torque transmission systems and mechanical transmissions, new topologies of power electronic converters (especially using connectors from silicon carbide SiC), control methods of network converters, control and detection issues in drive systems with sinusoidal filters, design and control of multiphase electrical machines (e.g. five-phase squirrel-cage induction motors), control of wind power converter systems and power electronic energy conversion systems in renewable sources energy.
