Research focus of the Centre
The PELINCEC center of excellence promotes research and disseminates
knowledge on multi-disciplinary areas of power electronic semiconductor
devices, converter topologies and control systems with special emphasis
on novel intelligent control and information technology issues for energy
conservation. The Centre is a technological bridge between countries
of Eastern, Central and Western Europe. The Centre is operating
in the following Working Groups:
-
WG1 – Power quality
WG2 – New topology of Power Electronic Converters
WG2 – Intelligent control and Signal Processing
WG4 – Industrial information technology
WG5 – Renewable energy
WG6 – Hybrid energy systems
Human Resources
The staff of the Centre consists of 62 persons (incl. 9 full Professors, 6 senior
Scientists, 34 Scientists, 7 technicians and 6 administrative staff). At present
there are also 48 Ph.D. students, about 60 graduate students at M.Sc. level.
Training possibility
The Centre offers courses in: power electronics, control and robotics. A very
important part of PELINCEC activities is concentrating on short courses,
workgroups and specialized training for participants from industry, which
creates knowledge by the need of modern technology in the area of activities
of the Centre. There is also a opportunity for foreign students to study in
the Centre on both M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels.
Scientific and industrial cooperation
The Centre has bilateral agreements with 17 foreign Scientific institutions
from all over the world. The national network consists of more than 20 Polish
research institutes and universities.
Since many years the Institute established numerous contacts with industrial
partners. Currently it has the cooperation with the following companies:
Newage (UK), Voltamper – Pretori (South Africa), Danfoss (DK), MEDCOM
(PL), APS Poland (PL), TWERD – Toruń (PL), POLSONIC – Warsaw (PL).
