MCIA - Motion Control and Industrial Applications Research Group
El grup estudia la modelització, la simulació, les tècniques de control, la implantació física i les aplicacions dels sistemes electrònics de potència aplicats al control industrial i als accionaments elèctrics. Concretament, estudia el control digital amb microprocessadors, processadors de senyals digitals (DSP) i matrius de portes programables in situ (FPGA, de l’anglès field programmable gate array) dels convertidors i els llaços de regulació que apareixen en el control industrial i en el control dels motors elèctrics, per a la qual cosa aplica tècniques de control adaptatiu i intel·ligent. L'estudi dels sistemes electrònics per a la gestió i l'estalvi energètic, i el tractament de les dades de la planta per al diagnòstic i el manteniment també són temes d'interès per al grup.
