Prize for the best power engineering dissertation at TU Dresden

This year's HIGHVOLT prize honours Barth's outstanding work within the framework of his dissertation on the “Design of an LCL filter and implementation of a control system for mains power converters”.

“This was already the sixth time that we have presented the HIGHVOLT Advancement Award to the best power engineering graduate at TU Dresden,” says HIGHVOLT' technical director Thomas Steiner. “In this way, we would like to promote committed and successful students, and at the same time further expand our good cooperation with the Dresden University of Technology.”
