Laboratory
Testing Laboratory for Energy Conversion and Storage
About us
The Laboratory’s equipment enables tests to be carried out on high-power power electronic converter systems. Power electronic converters used in the commercial power industry can be tested.
The Laboratory performs tests on equipment installed in traction substations for the power supply of vehicles and equipment for railway, tramway, trolleybus and metro traction. The Laboratory conducts tests of traction rectifiers and solid-state power devices. Tests are carried out on power electronic converters used in the commercial power industry, in particular, frequency converters, drives, power compensators, grid couplers and other devices that convert or store electric energy. The Laboratory also offers the possibility of hiring the infrastructure with staff. The Laboratory staff provide research and development support to companies in various fields of electrical engineering.
