SCOPE

• Higly dynamic environmental mechatronic systems
• Concept of “System of Mechatronic Systems” (SoMS) presented by chain “Electric vehicle – Smart Grids – Renewable energy production”

OBJECTIVES

Research:

• Benchmarking different control and estimation technique applied to mechatronic systems;
• Switching between control strategies under criteria of environmental impact minimization and better energy efficiency;
• Observers and disturbance rejection as applied to highly dynamic mechatronic systems.

Innovation and technologies:

• Development and real-time hardware-in-the-loop validation of plug-in electric vehicle dynamics controller with optimized performance by criteria of energy efficiency, energy harvesting and system safety;
• Development and real-time hardware-in-the-loop validation of robust controllers for mechatronic systems operating for and on the offshore wind-park platforms as smart grid components;
• Advancement of open development platform for model-based design of SoMS.
