The Institute of Power Electronic Systems
ELSYS at the University of applied Sciences
Nuremberg, Georg Simon Ohm is headed
by Prof. Norbert Grass and Prof. Armin
Dietz and has about 20 employees. The
Institute works in cooperative research
and development projects with industrial
partners. Main areas of work are
pow-
er electronic systems up to 300 kVA,
control and diagnostics
and interfacing
power electronic systems to
informa-
tion technology
. With high efficiency
and power management as well as pow-
er quality analysis ELSYS contributes to
energy conservation and against global
warming by means of power electron-
ics. Students are involved in research pro-
jects, thus they are practically trained to
work in industrial research projects.
