Drive inverters for mobile and stationary applications
The Inverters Research Group develops drive inverters for automotive, commercial vehicle and aviation applications. Our focus is on the development of innovative, highly efficient, compact and reliable power electronics for drive inverters in stationary and mobile applications. We carry out the complete research and development, prototype realization as well as testing and characterization of electric drives including motor control software on site at Fraunhofer IISB.
The mechatronic integration of inverter power electronics close to the electrical machine can reduce costs, installation space and EMC risks, but can also increase thermal and mechanical stress. At Fraunhofer IISB, we are therefore developing inverter system architectures with different levels of integration - from stand-alone housings to fully integrated inverter power electronics.
