This week we are speaking to Alfred Engler, the Head of Chief Engineering at Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH.
Alfred is a veteran in the field of engineering, having nearly 30 years of experience under his belt.
He has spent over 12 years at ISET e.V., primarily working on research projects, before joining Liebherr as the Head of Predevelopment and Advanced Technology. At the time, Liebherr-Electronics & Drives GmbH had no specific focus on renewable energy. Initially, his work involved optimizing and developing power electronics for the aerospace industry, with a focus on CO2-neutral aircraft.
Thanks to hard work and dedication, Alfred was then promoted to Head of Chief Engineering, where he advised on both Power Electronics (PE) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for grid systems and aircraft. This role expanded to include the development of electrical systems for construction machines, mining trucks, diggers, and ESS at various sites. In his current position, he is responsible for implementing processes and tools across all developments and projects.
We also talk about the over reliance on IT Systems and the complications this can cause, updates in the power electronics sector, and the brilliance of Smart Converters.
