Transnational cooperation for energy R&D and application, NTUST collaborate with WUT for the research of bidirectional DC-DC power converters for EV system applications

The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), Poland and the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan (MOST) have established a joint research call with the purpose of developing and strengthening mutual scientific cooperation between Polish and Taiwanese research teams from laboratories and centers supported by the NCBR and the MOST as well as private enterprises. The objectives of the joint research project are to increase and develop high quality research networking among researchers and enhance level of science and technology for Taiwan, Central Europe as well as Eastern Europe. Prof. Huang Jen Chiu, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) has obtained the Polish-Taiwanese Joint Research Grant in 2020. In the following years, the Taiwan research team from NTUST will collaborate with the Poland research team, leading by Prof. Marek Jasinski, Institute of Control and Industrial Electronics of Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), aim to design and implement of bidirectional DC-DC power converters for electric vehicle system applications.

To strengthen international academic exchanges, NTUST encourages academic exchanges and research cooperation with universities around the world to continue international development. Prof. Chiu has been with the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, where he is a Distinguished Professor, Dean of Industry-academia Collaboration and the Director of Centre for Power Electronic Technologies. His research interests include high efficiency/ high power density bidirectional DC/DC converters, PFC topologies, PV inverters, and DSP control in renewable energy applications. As the Director of Centre for Power Electronic Technologies, Prof. Chiu has been leading the team with 15 professors with expertise in power electronics and chip design, who have years of experiences in research and development of advanced power technology. This year the bilateral research team will work closely about High efficiency and high-power density bidirectional DC-DC converters. Some high performance isolated and non-isolated bidirectional converters with novel control modulation will be proposed. Low voltage and current stresses on power devices and the soft-switching will be achieved in the entire power range. High power density prototype converters with wide bandgap device will be built and tested to verify the circuit topologies and the control methods. Reliable and accurate power flow control among three-port bidirectional DC-DC converters for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications will be proposed and developed in the joint project. Moreover, the international collaboration research project provides a great opportunity to cultivate international research talents. It is hoped that the collaboration will not only help promote multilateral academic cooperation among Taiwan and Central and Eastern European countries but also provide contributions to energy technology as well as benefits for industries.
