Electric Power Systems Lab FHNW

In the Electric Power Systems Lab our experts measure energy technology components such as magnetic components, power converters and electrical machines. They also test charging stations and batteries for electromobility as well as electromagnetic simulations and modeling of machines and drive components.

Our offer


Test range of electrical machines and drive systems:

  • Efficiency measurement of rotating electrical machines and total drives according to IEC 61800-9
  • Static and dynamic load measurements
  • Parameter identification of rotating electrical machines


Test range of magnetic components:

  • Hysteresis and loss measurement of materials in the high, medium and low frequency range
  • Inductance and frequency response


Test offer for e-mobility:

  • Measurement of charging stations and batteries


Simulations / Modeling / Tools:

  • Electromagnetic simulations
  • Design of electrical machines and drive components
  • Multiphysical calculations
