ECPE Joint Research Programme

Power Electronics Laboratory has received funding from the ECPE - European Center for Power Electronics. Our project proposal related to core loss modeling of magnetic components for dynamic system-level power electronic simulations, has gained significant interest from ECPE network members (Siemens, Danfoss, Alstom Transport, ABB) and has received funding for initial twelve months. These research activities will streghten our ties with the European power electronics industry and ECPE, where PEL is recognized as one of the Competence Centers.

ECPE was founded in 2003 on the initiative of leading power electronics industries as an industry-driven Research Network to promote education, innovation, science, research and technology transfer in the area of Power Electronics in Europe. The network comprises more than 80 member companies and more than 100 European universities and research institutes which are integrated in the network as so called Competence Centres. Precompetitive joint research projects are organised through the ECPE Joint Research Programme, focussing mainly on power electronics in automotive and industrial systems as well as for renewable energies and smart grids.
