Host: South Danish University, Odense, Denmark
Co-supervisor/mentors: R. Maheshwari (SDU, DK), A. Costanzo & V. Cirimele (UniBo, IT), C. Kjeldsen (CON,DK)
Required profile: Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Power Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent.
Desirable skills/interests: Simulation engineering and modelling; Electrical and electronic engineering; Embedded systems; Control engineering.
Objectives: Design innovative hybrid compensation and converter topologies that minimize magnetic material usage and component count while ensuring high efficiency and robustness. The DC will realize the development and experimental validation of a hybrid compensated, bidirectional wireless charging system capable of stable, load-independent current and voltage transfer in both charging and discharging modes. Experimental validation through hardware prototypes will demonstrate >95% efficiency and strong misalignment tolerance.
Project: Development and validation of bidirectional converter and hybrid compensation topologies (WP2)
