TU Graz – Institute of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing

The research activities of the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing (EMT) located at Graz University of Technology are focused on the following topics.

Automotive and industrial sensor design

Several sensor principles developed at EMT were brought to volume products in cooperation with industrial partners. Sensor design for monitoring the fill level and flow of fuels aims for the development of robust sensor systems that can be built at affordable costs. For this reason, non-contacting principles (i.e. pneumatic, optical, capacitive) are favoured and methods are proposed that exploit sensor components already available in the vehicle to minimize required constructional changes in the tank system.

Power electronics and hybrid vehicle technology

Research activities concerning modern vehicle concepts and alternative fuels are focused on the following topics:

  • Powertrain modelling for conventional and hybrid vehicles
  • Design and evaluation of future energy storage (e.g. flywheel systems)
  • Modelling and characterization of automotive energy storage systems
  • Power converter design and optimization
