Lab for Mechatronics II - Power Electronics

The lab presents its latest findings regarding the charging process of electric vehicles
Bi-directional quick-charging station for electric cars and domestic energy supply, which is a “bottom-up” contribution to energy transition.

Laboratory: Room 12.E.22-28

Teaching

  • Lectures, exercises, simulations, and lab courses for the subject Power Electronics
  • Students, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and other research projects
Measurements taken at innovative concepts for future battery systems: Successful cooperation with an industrial partner
The students are very excited about the lab course in Power Electronics

Focus topics of research and development

The largely universally designed test stands can be used to carry out investigations in the fields of power electronics and drive technology and tests up to a feed-in power of 80 kW, and an RPM of up to 13,000 min-1. All common AC and DC voltages are available.

In cooperation with regional and cross-regional companies, we have carried out many R&D projects in the areas of design, calculation, simulation, and testing of electric power engineering systems. The research activity is explained in detail on the website of the TTZ-EMO.

Equipment

Among other equipment, the lab offers

  • Three sets of transformers for providing two adjustable three-phase voltage grids with frequencies from 17 to 100 Hz and one direct voltage grid with up to 1000 V / 80 A.
  • Programmable three-phase voltage source
  • Laboratory power supply units for (DC) voltages up to 300 V and currents up to 20 A.
  • Two rooms for long-term testing (no air conditioning)
  • Test stand for small drives < 300 W
  • Several highly precise torque and rpm sensors (deviation < 0.1 %)
  • Modern, state-of-the-art measuring devices (digital memory oscilloscopes, power measuring devices ...)
  • Modern simulation tools and development platforms for applications in power electronics and further electric systems
