UAS Technikum Wien at EDPE Conference on Electrical Drives and Power Electronics
30 October, 2023
Johannes Gragger (FHTW – Power Electronics and Control Systems Competence Area) presented an innovative circuit that offers advantages in flexible battery chargers at the EDPE conference in Slovakia.
Recently, the International Conference on Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (EDPE 2023) took place for the 36th time in the High Tatras, Slovakia. Here, engineers and experts from industry and science met to exchange knowledge and experience. The focus was on the latest developments and future trends in power electronics and electric drives and their industrial applications.
Johannes Gragger (Power Electronics and Control Systems competence area) presented an innovative circuit that can offer advantages for flexible battery chargers and DC microgrids. The new development is based on an idea of Prof. Himmelstoß.

Future topic power electronics: With the energy turnaround, the demand for solutions using power electronics and electric drives has reached an unprecedented peak. The two most important demand drivers include the industries around electromobility, as well as sustainable energy generation and storage. As an important platform in these fields, EDPE 2023 brought together top-class experts*.
Control systems as an integral part: Without the appropriate controllers, neither green energy generators nor electric vehicles would be operable. At EDPE 2023, new developments in control technology were discussed in the lecture session “Related Topics, Control and Design” (Chairpersons Olegs Sliskis (Riga Technical University) and Johannes Gragger (FHTW).
