Institute for Drive Systems and Power Electronics Research
Joint project: SkyPower100 - Pilot plant for energy generation from high-altitude wind; sub-project: Drive train concepts of airborne wind turbines for 1 to 5 MW and their validation on the SkyPower100 pilot plant with a rated power of 100 kW

Energy Supply and Grid Control

Thematics

  • Calculation of electromagnetic and mechanical stresses in drive systems during transient phenomena (e.g. start-up, three- or two-phase terminal short circuits, voltage recovery, system transfer)
  • System perturbations and other EMC effects in connection with rotating electrical machines
  • Research into novel regulatory concepts for renewable energies
  • Stability in electrical energy networks with large penetration of decentralized energy sources
  • Power generation from offshore wind
  • Modular multilevel inverters
