Centre for Electrical Machines

The beginning of the power industry in Serbia dates back to the end of the 19th century. The first public power plant in Serbia, the thermal power plant at Dorćol in Belgrade, was commissioned in 1893. We cannot imagine our daily life without electric generators and motors today.

What does the Centre do?

At this Centre, we deal with the development of new technologies in the field of electrical machines and power electronics. We explore ways to convert energy found in nature into electricity, which can be easily transmitted and further used. The further conversion of electricity into useful work is significant in transport systems – ships, aeroplanes, road and rail transport, as well as in all other economic branches.

Our research findings are applied in the accelerated trend of the development of electric and environmentally-friendly forms of transport, increased integration of renewable sources of electricity, as well as increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
