Riga Technical University
Starting from 1987 Institute’s of Industrial
Electronics and Electrical Engineering is one
of biggest among 35 institutes of Riga
Technical University.
Main research lines:
•
Energy-saving multifunctional energy
converters and their control systems;
•
Smart transport systems and their
control;
•
Smart electrical technologies and
energy-efficient production automation.
Institute annually publishes 80 to 90 sci-
entific articles; arranges RTUCON annual
international scientific conference; issues
periodical scientific journal „Electrical,
Control and Communication Engineer-
ing“; has realized more than 25 projects,
fulfilled industrial research tasks.
IIEEE collaborates with other scientific
institutions industrie enterprises all over
the world.
Institute of Industrial Electronics and
Electrical Technologies carries out profes-
sional studies within bachelor’s master’s
and doctoral programmes
in smart elektrotechnology
specialties:
•
Adaptronics;
•
Computer control of electrical
technologies.
Our researchers continuously
develop and create a new knowl-
edge in all types of converters,
energy flow measurement and
IKT application programs for opti-
mal reduction of losses.
Various „electronic transformers“ are
used in DC micronetworks that operate
in existing AC networks environment.
There were few and still are ongoing
some big and noticeable projects.
For example:
•
In October enden project Development
of Training Network for Improving Ed-
ucation in Energy Saving. The projec
contributed education process in such
aspects of this topics energy saving like
enhancement of energy efficiency, use
of renewable sources. Project’s coordi-
nator – Riga Technical University.
•
Automation and Robotics for EUrope-
an Sustainable manufacturing (AREUS)
are still on run and include ten partner
organizations from Germany, Sweden,
Finland, Denmark and Latvia. Aim is to
develop smart, green solutions for in-
dustrial robotics – and demonstrate
their viability for industrial production
with great efficiency in energy and cost
reduction while incurring the lowest
possible eco-footprints!
