      Condition Knowledge gained on courses that form the core of the Power Engineering Department, Power Converters and Drives, and Power Systems at the School of Electrical Engineering.
      The goal Introducing students to modern control strategies for power converters and drives based on new concepts, aiming to achieve adaptive and energy-efficient operation. The focus is on improving parameter estimation, applying artificial intelligence, and extending solutions to various drive models and industrial applications, with the use of Hardware-in-the-Loop concepts and Digital Twins.
      The outcome Students are capable to use, control and design electrical drives in accordance with modern industry requirements; for analysis of operation of different types of drives in stationary and dynamic modes, modeling of mechanical couplings in multimotor drives, design of complex control algorithms. The concept of Industry 4 and its application in order to achieve multifunctional optimization.
