Morten Nymand

Morten Nymand is a Professor at the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), with dual affiliation to the Centre for Industrial Electronics. His research focuses on advanced power electronics, including wide bandgap semiconductor devices (GaN/SiC), high-frequency converters, and energy-efficient systems for renewable energy applications.

• Key affiliations: SDU, Centre for Industrial Electronics
• Academic focus: Power electronics, converter design, GaN/SiC devices
• Projects: HPC (Ultra-High Efficiency DC-DC Converters), PtXKonvertering (Power-to-X conversion)

Nymand’s work emphasizes minimizing power losses, optimizing converter topologies (e.g., ANPC, NPC), and developing novel magnetic components (planar transformers/inductors). He has contributed to EMI noise reduction, predictive control algorithms, and photovoltaic system analysis. His publications highlight collaborations across Europe and applications in grid-connected systems, battery charging, and industrial electronics.

Recent research trends include hybrid converter topologies, ultra-high efficiency (>99%), and high temporal resolution weather data platforms for renewable energy storage. He has supervised students like Amin Kouchaki in EMI studies and converter design projects.

Scientific activities include organizing the 13th IEEE CPE-POWERENG conference (2019) and participation in EUDP-funded projects (2022–2023). His lab work centers on FPGA-based control platforms, digital modulation techniques, and compact converter prototypes.
