Host: Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
Co-supervisor/mentors: N. Parspour (USTUTT, DE), B. Jiang (ETRIXA, SE)
Required profile: Electrical engineering or equivalent
Desirable skills/interests: Embedded systems; Materials engineering; Electrical and electronic engineering; Control engineering; Sustainable design; Simulation engineering and modelling; Systems engineering; Industrial design; Computer aided design.
Objectives: Design, implementation, and control of compact and cost-effective wireless power transfer converters capable of robust bidirectional operation. The DC will investigate suitable topologies, materials, and components to achieve high efficiency and scalability up to 500 kW. Advanced control algorithms will be developed to ensure stable power flow under varying coupling conditions and battery states. The designed system will be experimentally validated to assess efficiency, reliability, and fault tolerance.
Project: Design and control of bidirectional high-power and robust WPT converters (WP2)
