Brief description

The project aims to design novel development and testing processes for the resilience of power converters. To this end, a concept for accelerated ageing tests in a hardware-in-the-loop environment is to be drawn up first. The second step will then involve the development of test sequences, which are to be derived from the concept created. The Master’s thesis will focus on setting up the test platform and integrating the developed test sequences. This will also include the validation of the system.
