TECES’ fields of activities / competences
TECES is divided into:
- Advanced Project Office
Is primarily focused on the activities of integration and the creation of strategic development
partnerships (clustering), where TECES acts as an umbrella integrator and facilitator of
activities of multiple partners to ensure the successful implementation of basic research,
research and development, technology development and demonstration projects of partners
(the details of the activities TECES in the field of creation of development partnerships "see partnership").
- Research and Development (R&D) Department
With its own development competencies and solutions in the field of power converters,
electric drives and power electronics, the group is directed towards supporting development
of clients’ custom products or as a development partner in project consortia.
Research and Development (R&D) Department
Active support of TECES’ clients in development of custom products.
Product development: from the idea until prototype
- overview of pre-exsistent solutions on a market and in patent collections,
- design concept,
- specifying a product together with a customer,
- modelling, dynamic simulation, FEM simulation,
- prototype manufacturing and testing,
- creating documentation,
- industrialisation support.
Competences
The majority of competences cover the comprehensive area of developing power
converters, power electronics, and electric drives (electric motors, electronics),
control algorithms, mechatronic assemblies...
Power electronics
- Analysis and synthesis of different converter types: AC/DC, DC/AC, DC/DC using different topologies and switching modes (hard/soft switching);
