Petar Matić

Prof. Dr. Petar Matić is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Banja Luka, specializing in electric motor control, power systems optimization, and renewable energy integration. He has led numerous national and international research projects, including "Unapredjenje sistema obnovljive energije u Jadransko-jonskom regionu kroz koriscenje digitalnih blizanaca" (2024–2027) and "Digital Position Control System with a BLDC Motor Using Field Oriented Control" (2023). His work focuses on improving energy efficiency, fault detection, and control algorithms in electrical systems.

• Research Interests: Optimization of induction and synchronous motor drives, renewable energy hybrid systems, magnetic field-based fault detection, and smart grid technologies.
• Projects: Led EU-funded INTERREG project (€225,000+), multiple Ministry of Science-funded initiatives, and industry collaborations with ABB.
• Publications: Over 25 peer-reviewed articles in IEEE, IET, and regional journals, including key works on BLDC motor control, transformer hot-spot temperature modeling, and fault passage indicators.
• Infrastructure: Developed laboratory setups like VEKTRA test bench for control algorithm verification and magnetic field-based fault detection systems.
