From October 7 to October 11, 2024, a delegation of scientists from NTU “KhPI” visited Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. Associate Professor Oleksii Duniev from the Department of Electrical Machines actively participated in these events.
Objectives of the visit:
1. Scientific Colloquium: Presentation of the research areas of the Educational and Research Institute of Energy, Electronics, and Electromechanics to facilitate and accelerate joint publications, participation in conferences, and submission of applications for scientific projects.
2. Networking with Colleagues: Establishing connections with colleagues from the Brazilian Federal University of Santa Maria.
3. Participation in a Ceremonial Event: Attending the inaugural ceremony for the 2023 cohort of the DSG-2 dual-degree program.
During the meetings, the scientists from NTU “KhPI” not only showcased their projects but actively sought new opportunities for international collaboration.
One of the topics that captivated the audience was the research on innovative designs of electrical machines, presented by Associate Professor Oleksii Duniev. This included developments ranging from permanent magnet motors to generators for wave energy applications.

Presentation by Oleksii Duniev

During the presentation, Associate Professor Oleksii Duniev introduced German colleagues to the results of collective work on the EURIZON grant, which involved the design and research of modern and promising linear generator constructions based on transverse flux machines for wave energy generation.
As a result of the presentation, a proposal was made to continue research on innovative electrical machines designed for generating wave energy from seas and oceans. This initiative is planned to be implemented within a new application for a Ukrainian-German grant, fostering the strengthening of scientific cooperation between the two countries.

Official journey of young scientists of the department of Electrical Machines of NTU “KhPI” to Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg at the Department of Electrical Drives Systems from January 25 to February 02, 2020.

This time the city of Magdeburg greeted us with beautiful New Year’s outfits and there was still a sense of celebration in the air.

During the stay at Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg, employees of the Electrical Machines department, associate professor, PhD Masliennikov A.M., associate professor, PhD Yehorov A.V., associate professor, PhD Duniev O.O. worked in the laboratory of the Electrical Drives Systems department as usual actively and, after planning the experiments, drawing up the scheme of the experimental installation, conducted tests of the a transverse magnetic flux electrical machine. Research was carried out for different rotational speeds in the generator mode.

Based on the research results, a modernized design of a transverse magnetic flux electrical machine was developed and its 3D model was created, as well as abstracts of a report were prepared for participation in a scientific international online conference to be held in Vancouver (Canada) in English.

Department of Electrical drives systems of the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg is very international, it employs scientists from around the world on state exchange programs funded from the country’s budget

We were able to meet such scientist, who came on exchange program between two universities of Germany and Uzbekistan – Ishnazarov Oibek Khairlaevich, Institute of Energy of the Academy of Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Tashkent), Doctor of Technical Sciences, Deputy of Director of Science (on the photo – second from the left).

We exchanged contacts with pleasure and invited him to the future IEEE international conference, which will be held in October 2020 at NTU “KhPI” in Kharkiv, and invited his applicants to enter our department.

To continue fruitful cooperation, an Agreement on scientific and creative cooperation was concluded for the period from 2020 to 2025 on the topic: “Development of the theory and research of transverse magnetic flux electrical machines” within the agreement between the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg and the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, dated April 2, 1993.

Official journey for young scientists of the Department “Electrical Machines” NTU “KhPI” at the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg to the department “Electrical Drives Systems”.

Within the international cooperation between NTU “KhPI” and Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg (Germany, Magdeburg) 2019 began with a ten-day Official journey (20.01-30.01) of a group of young scientists and a student of the Department of Electrical Machines to the Department of Electrical Drives Systems, consisting of: Associate Professor Masliennikov A.M., Associate Professor Duniev O.O., Associate Professor Yehorov A.V., student Bredun R.V.

<a href=”https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/The Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg was founded in 1993 and is one of the youngest universities in Germany. The university has about 14,000 students in nine faculties. It is named after the physicist (and Mayor of Magdeburg) Otto von Guericke, famous for his experiments with the Magdeburg hemispheres.

The former Technical University of Magdeburg (Technical School of Magdeburg), a teacher training college and a medical school were merged into the university. The university now consists of nine faculties.

During the official journey, young scientists got acquainted with the manufactured samples of transverse magnetic flux electrical generators, made a presentation on the development of the magnetic system and its design features.

The cultural program was a trip to Amsterdam. The weather in this city is very changeable, so in one day there were showers, the sun and a powerful wind. Very beautiful and unusual city library.

The city of Amsterdam is rightfully the cycling capital, as evidenced not only by the number of bicycles in road traffic, but also by the number and scale of bike parking.

In the city, there are various types and modifications of electric vehicles, which are the means of daily use.

From August 01 to August 08, 2017, the 5-th trip of the research group of NTU “KhPI” to Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg (OvGU) took place, consisting of: Assoc. Prof., Ph.D. Masliennikov A.M., Senior Lecturer, Ph.D. Duniev O.O., Senior Lecturer, Ph.D. Yehorov A.V., student Pushkarev V.I. Many thanks for organizing the trip to Dr.-Ing. Stefan Palis and M.Sc. Evgen Golovin.
Active work of prof. Roberto Leidhold allowed to organize an excursion to Enercon GmbH, one of the main manufacturers of wind turbines in the world, the largest manufacturer of wind turbines in Germany. Enercon held 50.3% of the German market in 2007 and 14% of the global wind turbine market in 2008 [Wikipedia].

Within the walls of the University, research, design and experimental work was carried out:
