Our research activities aim to open up new fields of application in power electronics and to promote innovation in close co-operation with Austrian and international industry. In line with the focal points of TU Wien, we are working on new concepts in the following areas:

• Magnetic components (inductors, transformers) for power electronics (‘kilohertz at kiloamperes’) in order to optimally utilise wide-bandgap power semiconductors (SiC, GaN),
• Medium-voltage converters for sustainable energy systems, traction/railway applications, E-mobility, data centers and other energy consumers and producers in the lower megawatt range,
• Modelling and optimisation of complex energy conversion systems with a focus on efficiency, cooling, standards and cost models, using AI to shorten design cycles,
• Power electronics in fast growing applications following long-term trends such as photovoltaics, electric vehicles (EV), data centers, ‘green’ steel, hydrogen production, energy storage, MV drives
