Terrassa Industrial Electronics Group. TIEG

History

TIEG was founded in 2007 as a research group recognized by the UPC, with the mission of researching and providing technological support in power electronics and electromagnetic compatibility.

Over the years, we have evolved alongside the needs of the sector. Currently, our main activity addresses the demand for more efficient and compact systems, leading research into the use of new wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, which are key to the next generation of converters.

Areas of Expertise

Our technical expertise is consolidated into two major interconnected pillars:

⚡ 1. Power Electronics

We have specialized equipment to cover the entire design and validation cycle. Our priority lines include:

  • Advanced design: Multilevel converters and driver circuits for WBG semiconductors.
  • Mobility and transport: Drive systems for electric vehicles and the aeronautical sector.
  • Energy: Renewable source-based systems and power quality monitoring.

📊 2. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

We are experts in the design and testing of industrial electronics equipment, addressing the challenges of high- and low-frequency disturbances.

  • Optimization: Design of layouts and switching cells to minimize interference.
  • Analysis and testing: Management of conducted EMI (up to 30MHz) and radiated EMI (up to 1GHz).

Results and Impact

Throughout our trajectory, we have built extensive experience in thesis supervision, patents, and knowledge transfer projects. Updated details of all our publications and results can be found on the official FUTUR UPC scientific output portal.
