CITCEA

Center of Technological Innovaton in Static Converters and Drivers

General description of the activity

The Centre of Technological Innovation in Static Converters and Drives (CITCEA) belongs to Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The human resources are professors from Electrical Engineering Department of UPC and engineers. All they have expertise in Mechatronics and Enertronics applications, which make possible the improvement of Energy Efficiency in the fields applied.

 

The Centre has a great knowledge of industrial and social needs due to their constant collaboration, as well as technology transfer and implementation. Within Mechatronics, the Centre works developing electronic and electric equipment, automation, power electronics, communications and control by microprocessor and DSPs. In Enertronic, the Centre works in energy innovation, in all the activities related to the electric sector and the supply of electrical power; from the generation point to the final consumption.

 

Professors from the Centre participate at Engineering Bachelor and Master degrees of UPC. The Centre also proposes life-long learning activities with the Master in Mechatronics, supported by the Foundation UPC, and professional courses in energy, automation and Mechatronics fields.
