Our department cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen – THM), Hessen, Friedberg city, Germany, has been going on for 3 years.
Among this time, our department professors, teachers, post-graduates and master-students actively passed training in THM, raising their qualifications, and took part in international seminars, among which:
- S. Peresada and assoc. prof. S. Kovbasa [1], [6], [9] presented the latest department developments concerning adaptive and robust methods of induction motors (IM) control;
- O. Tolochko is engaged in the such improvements of synchronous motors (SM) modern optimizing control methods, as ‘Maximum moment per ampere’ (MTA), ‘Maximum torque per volt’ (MTV) and three-zone SM speed control;
- prof. D. Prystupa [5] dealt with the SM with permanent magnets model parameters identification problem;
- master-student and subsequently – postgraduate D. Pushnitsyn via the Erasmus+ program, he wrote a master’s thesis on the topic ‘Optimal control of electric vehicle (EV)’, for which he developed and tested an inverter and control algorithms for controlling EV electric drive [2], [3]. The task of his second internship was to determine the parameters of the squirrel-cage rotor IM and to adjust its vector control system [4].
- our department representatives numerous meetings on the double diploma program implementing [6] ,[7],[8] [9] allowed two master-students V. Varvolyk and M. Slivkanich [10] ,[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17] to undergo an internship in the THM, during which they took part in robotic car autonomous model development for the ‘Carolo Cup’ contest.
For now, new cooperation program agreement has been reached within which our students will participate in the EV electric drive development for the ‘Formula E Student’ competition
