Sandip Guha Thakurta

I worked as a manager of Field maintenance Electrical. I was responsible for repair and maintenance of low voltage electric motors.

My main focus is on application of power electronics for renewable technology. In my first semester, I took core modules like Power Electronics, Advanced Control, and Sustainable mobility. The upcoming semesters will be more focused on practical and project oriented courses. Apart from regular studies, I am working in the TUfast Eco team. This is a student research group in TUM working on designing efficient electric vehicles. I am looking after the motor drivetrain design.

My final year prohect was based on design and control of an Active Front End converter for solar photovoltaic application. Our team designed a single phase h-bridge AFE converter and developed it's current control strategies. We used vector decoupled control technique to independently control active and reactive power being transferred to the grid. Apart from this project, I did a project on developing modified MPPT algorithm for solar photovoltaic suitable for variable atmospheric conditions.
