Are you interested in advanced power electronics and the future of electrified off-road vehicles? Join our team and contribute to the development of innovative control architectures and power electronics technologies in a collaborative and energetic research environment.

About Us

We at the Division of Electric Power Engineering conducts research within a broad range of topics in electric power technology. Our purpose is to develop interdisciplinary research areas within the university as well as with external partners. Our research is based on a solid theoretical basis and extensive experimental verification in our laboratories. Research activities at the division are organized in two research units: (1) Electrical Machines and Power Electronics, and (2) Power Grid and Components.

In research unit Electrical Machines and Power Electronics, we are about 25 persons, of which two third are PhD students. Our research directions include: (1) electrical machines; (2) traction inverters; (3) high frequency power electronics and charging; (4) electric drive systems, and (5)



battery energy storage.

About The Research Project

The research project is funded by Swedish government and our industrial partner. The target of the research project is to develop an innovative embedded structure for a centerized control of all on-board power electronics devices. The integration of power electronics enables optimization of the system design and harmonization of different functionalities for reliable and cost-effective energy conversion onboard off-road vehicles. Your focus will be on design and verification of the control structure and software achitecture, as well as dimensioning the PE hardware for a vehicle platform. You will also investigate the required capability of the controller to meet multiple functionalities such as traction, charging, and voltage conversion. The proposed solutions should be verified by real-time simulation, HIL, and partly experiments of the prototype.
