For more information or to discuss a collaboration, please contact Nicola Schulz.

Infrastructure

The power electronics laboratory offers the following infrastructure:

Test bench for testing power converters and drive systems (20 kW; from 2025 up to 100 kW)
Bidirectional load cycling test bench for power cycling tests on power semiconductors
Mobile test setup for cosmic ray tests. The tests themselves are carried out on particle accelerators.
Climatic chambers for temperature and humidity tests
Several high precision power analyzers
Various electrical sources and sinks
Extensive equipment for measurements on power electronic components and systems

100 kW “dual inverter” developed at the Institute for industrial drives, based on silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors.InstituteInstitute

The Power Electronics Lab is part of the FHNW Institute of Electric Power Systems
