CITCEA - Centre d'Innovació Tecnològica en Convertidors Estàtics i Accionaments

 

El CITCEA-UPC és un centre de transferència de tecnologia creat el 2001 a la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Està especialitzant en l’enginyeria elèctrica, és capaç de respondre a les necessitats de les empreses mitjançant la realització d’un estudi o la creació d’un prototipus funcional que finalment servirà a l’empresa per desenvolupar un nou producte comercial o per solucionar un nou problema tecnològic plantejat pel creixement i evolució de l’empresa.
L’expertesa del CITCEA-UPC radica en tot tipus d’aplicacions on el control de l’energia i/o el moviment sigui necessari. En aquest àmbit, les tecnologies desenvolupades són: l’electricitat, l’electrònica de control, l’electrònica de potència, les comunicacions industrials i el control digital amb processadors. Les aplicacions d’aquestes tecnologies comprenen des de l’automatització de processos i màquines fins les energies renovables i la xarxa elèctrica, entre moltes altres.

  • Optimal operation of isolated microgrids considering frequency constraints 

    Vidal Clos, Josep Andreu; Bullich Massagué, Eduard; Aragüés Peñalba, Mònica; Vinyals Canal, Guillem; Chillón Antón, Cristian; Prieto Araujo, Eduardo; Gomis Bellmunt, Oriol; Galceran Arellano, Samuel (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-01-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Isolated microgrids must be able to perform autonomous operation without external grid support. This leads to a challenge when non-dispatchable generators are installed because power imbalances can produce frequency ...

  • Contribution of smart cities to the energy sustainability of the binomial between city and country 

    Villa Arrieta, Manuel Ricardo; Sumper, Andreas (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-08-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Cities are at the center of the transition to a decarbonized economy. The high consumption of electricity in these urban areas causes them to be the main focus of greenhouse gas emissions. However, they have a high margin ...
