- integration of on-board power and propulsion components for EVs
- design and prototyping of drive inverters for classic three-phase and multi-phase machines
- design of mechanical structures
Our offer is addressed to companies working directly and indirectly in the area of electromobility. For example, companies that convert internal combustion vehicles to EVs or design them. The Research Group offers them the selection or and development of power, drive and integration systems for electrical and electronic on-board equipment. The technology solutions we develop are also addressed to companies working in the broad area of renewable energy sources and particularly hydroelectric and wind power; for these customers, we offer generators for wind and hydroelectric turbines and dedicated inverters developed at Łukasiewicz – IEL.
The Research Group works mainly in two areas:
- industrial:
- electrical energy conversion (drive systems and power systems),
- e-transport (new solutions for electromobility on land, water and air)
- energy and power generation (RES systems, integration of the vehicle into the electricity system V2x)
- services:
- services and implementation of RD projects
- powertrain research services for electromobility and industrial applications
We also undertake tasks in the area of agriculture, such as the development of power supplies or dedicated drives for agricultural machinery and equipment.
