Department of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines | Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology

The Department of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines was separated from the Institute of Maritime and Industrial Electrical Engineering in 1993, as a result of the reorganization of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology, based on the department structure. Thanks to many years of efforts by former and current employees of the Department, the unit has extensive contacts in the national and international scientific and research environment.
The main scientific and technological contributions of the department include: new concepts in the control of voltage-source inverters (self-tuning dead-time modulation method, pulse-width modulation of multilevel inverters based on the application of shape functions), original contributions in the area of diagnostics of voltage-source inverters and traction transformers, a unique method for experimental modeling of acoustic noise produced by AC machines, simulation models of brushless synchronous generators for the analysis of onboard power systems of More Electric Aircraft, new-concept piezoelectric actuators and sensors, proprietary power electronic simulation package TCad.
