Advanced Power Electronics at AAU Esbjerg

As a student on the Master’s programme in Advanced Power Electronics (APEL), you will work with advanced power electronics and electric drives systems and you will learn about motors/generators, intelligent control, diagnostics, and integration of drive systems in the transportation and industrial sectors.

You will explore questions such as:

  • How to extend the lifetime of a wind turbine drive system?
  • How to make a control system for an under water robotic system equipped with power electronics?
  • How to develop non-linear control for the drive system for an inspection drone?
  • How to implement intelligent control dynamics in industrial electronic systems?
  • How to design an intelligent drone system for navigation?

The teaching takes place in an innovative, dynamic and challenging environment, through a combination of research-based courses, team-based project work, and a high degree of interaction with industrial partners and energy supply companies.

The companies take an active part in providing project proposals for problem-oriented project work, guest lectures and visits to the companies.

This study programme combines contemporary technologies with adaptation from classic technologies such as electronics, power electronics, electrical machines, control engineering with artificial intelligence, reliability and maintenance issues. This will give you an understanding of the technologies and scientific background in advanced power electronic areas, and their application in systems level studies in a real- time environment.

The programme provides you with a theoretical background and teaches you how to model numerically using advanced software, as well as how to analyse, synthesise and develop advanced power electronic systems. Further, you will find out how power electronics and drives interact with externally connected components or systems.
