Research paper thumbnail of Power Electronics Enabling Efficient Energy Usage: Energy Savings Potential and Technological Challenges

IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2000

Power electronics is a key technology for the efficient conversion, control, and conditioning of ... more Power electronics is a key technology for the efficient conversion, control, and conditioning of electric energy from the source to the load. In this paper, the potential of power electronics for energy savings in four major application fields, buildings and lighting, power supplies, smart electricity grid, and industrial drives, is investigated. It is shown that by wider adoption of power

Current forecasting systems provided mainly by meteorological offices are based on large-scale prediction and are not well suited for this application. In order to devise a system especially designed for the dynamic management of a sewerage system the "RADAR" project was launched. The idea of this project was to provide a short-term small-scale prediction of rain based on radar images. The prediction methodology combines two methods. An extrapolation method based on a sophisticated cross correlation of images is optimised by a neural network technique. Three different application sites in Europe have been used to validate the system.

Research paper thumbnail of Zur Lage der österreichischen Forschung auf dem Gebiet integrierter Systeme — Situation und Strategie

Dieser Artikel analysiert die Situation der österreichischen Forschung auf diesem Geblet und fasst jüngste Entwicklungen im F & E-Umfeld zusammen. Neben dem österreichischen Technologieförderprogramm FIT-IT stellen vor allem die Entwicklungen um die europäische Technologieplattform ARTEMIS geänderte Rahmenbedingungen für Forscher und Unternehmer, aber auch für die Technologiepolitik dar. Die neuen Herausforderungen bestehen in verstärktem internationalen Wettbewerb, in der Sicherung von hoch qualitativem Forschungspersonal sowie in zunehmender Komplexität wirtschafts- und technologiepolitischer Sachverhalte. Leitlinien der österreichischen Forschungsstrategie können wissenschaftliche Exzellenz, internationale Sichtbarkeit und die aktive Teilnahme am internationalen F & E-Geschehen sein. Embedded systems represent one of the areas of information technology with highest economic and technological dynamics. This article analyzes the situation of Austrian research in this area and summarizes recent developments in the RTD environment. Together with the Austrian FIT-IT programme for funding technology, novel developments in connection with the European technology platform ARTEMIS create changing conditions for researchers and companies, but also for technology policy. New challenges are an increased international competition, but also the availability of high-quality research personnel. The situation concerning economic policies and technological policies becomes more and more complex, too. Scientific excellence, international visibility, but also the conscious adoption of an active role in the international RTD scene can serve as strategic guidelines.
