General description of the activity
The aim of the ACES group is to contribute to the progress of scientific knowledge, the training of specialized personnel and the diffusion of technological advances, in the field of modelling and control of complex systems, and its application to problems related to the generation, conditioning, management and storage of electrical energy.
The facilities of the group include laboratories of control, power electronics, electrical drives and fuel cells, together with the ancillary instrumentation and equipment to perform experimental validations. As for higher education, the group participates at the UPC in four masters (robotics and automation, applied mathematics, engineering mathematics and electronics) and three PhD programmes (Automation Robotics and Vision, Applied Mathematics and Electronics).
Specific areas of research energy field
The group focuses its research in the energy field concerning the subject of generation, quality and conversion of Electric power.
The research activities can be divided in the following areas:
- Modelling and control of PEM fuel cells
- Modelling and control of Ethanol Reformers
- Modelling and Control of Power electronic Converters
- Modeling and control of electrical machines
