Emilio Lorenzani

Emilio Lorenzani is a Full Professor at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His research focuses on advanced electrical drives, power electronics, and renewable energy systems. He leads a research group developing innovative motor control strategies, high-efficiency converters, and fault-diagnostic techniques for electric machines.

Research Interests:

• Electric drives and motor control systems
• Power electronic converters (inverters, transformers)
• Transformerless photovoltaic and wind energy systems
• Sensorless control for permanent magnet and induction motors
• Ground leakage current mitigation in inverters
• Multi-three-phase propulsion systems for naval applications

Key Contributions: His work includes advancements in current source inverters (CSIs), hybrid stepper motor control, and fault-tolerant architectures. The research group has pioneered modular converter designs for electric vehicles and renewable energy integration.

Labs/Teams: The group operates within the Department’s facilities in Reggio Emilia (via Amendola 2). Their research website details ongoing projects in electric propulsion and smart grid technologies.
