The Department of Power Electronics is involved in a journal article in the IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics (Q1). The research work focuses on efficient analytical methods for optimizing the operation of highly compact bidirectional AC/DC converters. Loss reductions of 14% (full load) to 48% (partial load) have been achieved.

The article focuses in particular on the energy and resource efficiency of future energy supply of electrical consumers in close combination with renewable electrical energy generators (in particular PV) and storage systems (batteries, fuel cells) using the example of industrial mechanical engineering. The research was partly funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection under the funding code 03EN2010A-G.
