Profile
TU/e is one of Europe's leading research universities in engineering science and technology and in the same time a part of the Dutch 3TU-Federation together with Delft University of Technology and the University of Twente.
 
The Electromechanics and Power Electronics (EPE) within the Electrical Engineering Faculty carries out fundamental research on enabling energy conversion theory, methods and technologies on which future developments in electromechanics, power electronics, energy storage and motion systems are depending. In the numerous projects of the EPE group both fundamental and practical aspects are addressed and often a mechatronic system approach is required, in which not only specialists from the fields of electromechanics and power electronics but also from electromagnetics, material science, control engineering, mechanical engineering and thermodynamics are involved.

Novel method accelerates progress in OLED lighting efficiency

Scientists from Philips Research and the Eindhoven University of Technology (TUe) have developed a novel method for accurately measuring the active layer in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting. This is an important step forward for OLED device optimization and efficiency that is determined by the position of the very narrow zone in which the light is generated.

More power from bumps in the road

Printed electronics is used in several forms of energy harvesting, so we thought we would share this dramatic opportunity with you although it is not yet clear what technology is involved. A shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road could save a company such as Wal-Mart $13 million a year in fuel costs by converting its fleet of trucks.
