Competence Center:
Power Electronics
With a team of experienced and highly motivated engineers, we can implement your development project in the field of control technology, energy conversion and energy storage, e.g. for photovoltaics or electromobility, in a short time and with the highest quality. In addition to interdisciplinary development, we also think outside the box and find new solutions that can give your product clear competitive advantages. Our engineers have mastered the classic disciplines of power electronics (system understanding, hardware, firmware) and only get really warm through high voltages and currents, so that the controllers perform optimally and unwanted effects are definitely eliminated.
Isn't everything going right?
With our electromechanical system understanding, we analyze the entire route of your mechatronic process including the motor and optimize the control behavior.
The emission is not only well received?
By taking a holistic view of the electrical behavior and the electromechanical structure, we can help to identify sources of electromagnetic interference in your system, reduce or shift resonances and thus limit emissions and increase immunity to external influences. We use the latest EMC standards (and drafts) to guarantee that your system is future-proof.
Do you need to convert electrical energy?
We support you throughout the process:
​Topology selection, circuit simulation, selection of the control concept (analysis of the controlled system, dimensioning of different control types), electrical dimensioning of the switched-mode power supply (control, semiconductors, passive components), definition of the cooling concept, electromechanical integration taking into account EMC criteria.
And lost energy has to be dissipated?
Through close cooperation with our mechanics and fluidics specialists, we ensure, e.g. with AM Design, that you can keep a cool head, that your system performs optimally electrically and that no thermal hotspots form. In addition to identifying sources of loss, the focus is also on reducing losses.
Our spectrum ranges from the cooling of signal processors to high-current cables, e.g. from charging stations
Are your storages often empty and you need to tap energy storage resources?
We would be happy to dimension an optimal configuration of new drive and energy systems for you. Our expertise lies in the selection of the right energy storage devices and their charging technology. Within an energy storage system, we take care of each cell, balance its state of charge and transmit the states to the Energy Management System (EMS).
How confident are you that your system is working properly?
Through model-based design and HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) simulations, we can pre-develop possible hardware component adjustments or controller optimizations and assess the feasibility of implementation. On the one hand, this saves you valuable development time and prototype costs, on the other hand you have the opportunity to interpret unexpected operating states and thus prevent and increase the robustness of your system.
