2. Christoph Haederli Christoph Haederli received his Masters degree in electrical engineering from ETH Zürich (Polytechnic University) in 1994. His major subjects were power electronics, computer architecture, control and simulation. He continued at ETH as a research assistant in the field of doubly fed machines for renewable energy applications. In 1995, he joined Technocon AG (later on IDS Integral Drive Systems AG) working in power electronics engineering. One of the major projects was the development of the power electronics for a wind power plant with a doubly fed generator. Other projects included a variable speed integral drive motor and the development of an inverter control platform. From 1998 to 2000, he was working with Huggenberger AG in the field of measurement technologies. In 2000, he joined ABB Corporate Research in the group for power electronic systems and components, where he has been working on distributed power generation issues and inverter design. His main research interests include inverter design, drives, power network and distributed generation.
