Department of Renewable Energy Sources and Electromobility

The Department of Renewable Energy Sources and Electromobility conducts advanced research in the areas of medium- and high-power power electronics, electromobility, energy storage, electric drives, and hydrogen technologies. The department’s researchers design and test state-of-the-art modular converters, power conditioning systems, and digital control systems, supporting the development of intelligent and efficient power supply solutions.

Particular emphasis is placed on electric propulsion systems for vehicles and ships – both crewed and autonomous –  as well as on the integration of these solutions with energy storage systems (LiFePO₄ batteries, hydrogen fuel cells) and renewable energy sources. Research is also conducted on the complete hydrogen technology chain: from electrolysis and storage to conversion into electrical energy in fuel cells.

In the field of autonomy, the department develops decision-making systems based on heuristic algorithms, agent-based control, and artificial intelligence, enabling optimisation of ship manoeuvres and the safe operation of electric vehicles in both marine and land environments.

The research combines simulation and experimental approaches, and the results are published in a range of scientific journals and publications.
