Industrial electrical engineering and automation (IEA) is a division at the Faculty of Engineering, LTH at Lund University. IEA is responsible for all research and education in electric power engineering at LTH, but also gives courses in automation. Power engineering research areas are electric power systems and electrical drives. The main aim is a sustainable society with a reliable electricity supply and energy efficient transports. Key topics in power systems research are island operation of distributed generation, distribution networks with large amounts of cable and vulnerability analysis of technical infrastructures. The research on electrical drives is concerned with electro-hybrid vehicle drives and design of electrical machines based on new materials and production methods. The industrial collaboration is extensive. IEA is participating in the EU demonstration project ADINE (www.adine.fi) on distributed generation. Our part concerns local voltage control of a microturbine interfaced with power electronics.
