Research and development work at the department focuses on the design of highly utilized and efficient electrical machines and highly reliable drive systems. The aim is to increase the energy efficiency, operational safety and performance of electric drives through a system-oriented approach, based on the use of multiphysics simulations, which enable a detailed analysis and optimization of machines and drive systems. In this way, properties such as efficiency, thermal behavior and dynamic characteristics can be precisely evaluated at an early stage of development.
State-of-the-art laboratories with the latest measurement technology and powerful test benches are available to validate the simulation results. In this way, theoretical models and practical investigations are closely linked.
