Department of Power Electronics

Research areas at the Department of Power Electronics include: modelling, analysis and measurement of electronic and power electronic systems and their components, taking into account thermal phenomena occurring within these components and thermal coupling between components mounted on a common printed circuit board or within a shared module; modelling of power semiconductor devices made from wide-bandgap materials and magnetic components, including air-core transformers; modelling of components of photovoltaic installations and semiconductor light sources; methods for analysing microwave circuits and field phenomena in electronic and telecommunication systems; research on the properties of telecommunication channels in underwater environments and methods for efficient underwater communication; mobile charging systems for electric vehicles using energy from renewable sources; electronic assembly methods and properties of solder alloys with oxide additives; shore-side power supply installations for ships during port berthing; efficient hydrogen production methods and optimisation of electrolyser power supply systems to achieve high productivity; modelling of parasitic elements in switched-mode power conversion circuits related to the design of printed circuit boards on which these circuits are mounted; and automatic control systems based on microprocessor technologies.
