Raphael Otte

Raphael Otte (M.Sc.) is a researcher at the Institute Future Energy (iFE) of the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts (TH OWL). He holds a Master's degree in Mechatronic Systems and a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering/Automation Technology from TH OWL. His work focuses on power electronics for regenerative energy systems, efficiency-optimized switching power supply topologies, and wide-bandgap semiconductor-based prototype development. Key project involvements include:

• DC-Schiene (2023-2026): Intelligent DC networks for industrial energy efficiency
• DC INDUSTRY (2016-2019): Open DC networks with electric drives
• ZIM-PodCopter (2015-2017): Cable-suspended sensor platforms for agriculture
• E-DEAL (2010-2013): Energy-efficient electric drives with innovative power electronics

He works in close collaboration with Prof. Holger Borcherding and specializes in technical building equipment (TGA) applications, particularly in energy-efficient industrial drive systems.
