IEA - Dept Industrial Electrical Eng. and Automation Lund University
Address: Box 118, SE-221 00
City: Lund
Country: Sweden
PRESENTATION OF IEA
The Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation (IEA) started its current graduate program and research in 1987. Since then an extensive research program has been built up and the undergraduate education has been completely renewed or redesigned.
The IEA profile is quite unique for Sweden, since the main feature is the combination of automation, electric drive systems and electrical power systems.
Research
Most of the research is application oriented, where each program and project has been inspired by some real industrial problem. This has made it necessary to find networking of different competences to solve the specific research task. Our goal is to be industrially relevant as well as academically and internationally competitive.
There are several important advantages of founding a research program in this way. Electrical drive systems offer a combination of problems in control structures, very fast digital control, power electronics and machine design and operation. In electrical power systems the emphasis has been put on distribution automation, where control, computer engineering and power systems technology (including power electronics) have to be integrated.
In automation the emphasis is on the control of industrial processes, where control theory, real time computing, electronics and sensor technology are combined.
