  2. Regional Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (RICE) • At present, R&D activities at FEE are concentrated into a new research center “Regional Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (RICE)” and RICE is a trade mark of FEE forexcellentresearch. • RICE is funded from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and started in October 2010 with budget of ≈ 25 mil. EUR. RICE targets: • Build up a unique hi-tech R&D infrastructure. • Establish an experienced team of experts. • Start up strategic R&D projects with industrial partners. • Be a leader in selected R&D activities.

  3. Regional Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (RICE) • More than 150 of our researchers have been involved in solving a project with a total budget of over 2 billion Czech crowns. • We cover the complete research chain, from basic theoretical research, through applied research, to the development and testing of working samples and prototypes. • RICE buildsnewresearch infrastructure whichisunique in theworld, e.g. a laboratory hall and testing facility for medium-voltage powerelectronics and transport systems (allowingtesting up to 31 kV / 4MW), special laboratoriesforresearchofnewmaterials and sensors (primarily based on organicmaterials), including so-called “clean rooms”, special microscopic laboratories, and X-ray diagnostics, etc.

  4. Regional Innovation Centre for Electrical Engineering (RICE) • Mainresearchtargets

  8. Electronics and testing • RICE developed REMCS (RICE Embedded Modular Control System). • is designed for real-time control applications in the field of energetics and transport technology. • is developed as a universal platform of the control system for a wide range of applications. • During the development the latest technologies were used: 2x internal LVDS communication 1.3Gb, Hercules ™ ARM ® Safety microprocessor, increased HW safety features, Altera ® Avalon ® Interfaces, FPGA design based on Avalon® Qsys System. REMCS is designed for 19 "rack, but individual modules can be also used separately. • is provided as an open platform for the implementation of single and demanding applications, including manufacturing data. • Each customer has the option to further extend the system according to his needs. • REMCS won ZLATÝ AMPER 2013 • REMCS

  9. Material research • Emergency clothing Sensorsof steam and gas, temperature S S Body control Unit (BCU), + battery BCU S S BCU

  10. Power engineering and industrial systems • Sophisticatedexpert systemfor design ofhigh-powerdrives(fans and pumps) • Software

  11. Mathematical-physical modeling and machine design • Agros2D is a multiplatform application for the solution of physical problems based on the Hermes library, developed by the group at RICE. • HERMESis a C++ libraryfor rapid developmentofadaptivehp-FEM / hp-DG solvers. Novel hp-adaptivity algorithmshelpsolve a large variety ofproblemsrangingfrom ODE and stationarylinear PDE to complextime-dependentnonlinearmultiphysics PDE systems. • What Agros2D can offer you • Numerical solution of physical fields (single and multi-physics analysis with the possibility of weak and hard coupling) • Complex time-dependent nonlinear solver • Steady state, harmonic and transient analysis • Particle tracing in electromagnetic fields • User-friendly preprocessor and powerful postprocessor • Support for scripting in Python (advanced IDE PythonLab) • Agros2D/HERMES
