KONČAR - Electrical Engineering Institute

Innovation and integrity in science

For over sixty years, we have played an active role in pioneering new innovative products and services, in the field of transformers, rotating machines, HV equipment, energy converters, and rail vehicle components. We are internationally acknowledged as a key partner in the success of KONČAR Group.

We also run our own Laboratory Centre with 8 state-of-the-art laboratories, which offer testing services for power equipment and mechanical components, calibration for measuring and testing equipment, and on-site diagnostic testing. Our Product Conformity Assessment Service operates in compliance with the requirements of international, European and domestic standards.

Monitoring
Electrical Engineering Institute

Monitoring

The role of monitoring systems is to detect potential faults early and prevent significant material and financial losses. Our portfolio includes monitoring systems for primary power equipment such as transformers, rotating machines, switchgear, rail vehicles, and railway infrastructure.

These types of monitoring systems allow for better management of vital components and reliable risk management. The systems enable continuous monitoring of equipment, long-term data storage, and tracking of significant events. To date, we have delivered these systems to 60 countries worldwide.

Railway control and monitoring

Railway control and monitoring

KONČAR TCMS – Train Control and Management System is our proprietary HW&SW platform for train control and management systems that enables configuration of an optimal embedded computer management system for all types of rail vehicles.

KONČAR TCMS is a modular platform, that is easily adapted to customer-specific requirements and can be simply installed at various rail vehicles, including trams, EMUs, DEMUs and locomotives.

Energy Metering System
Electrical Engineering Institute

Energy Metering System

EMS is a is a universal energy metering system that is installed at all rail vehicles. The modular system is easily customized to different types of trains and locomotives.

All components of the system are developed and certified in compliance with the EN 50463 international standard. The device monitors consumed active energy, consumed reactive energy, recuperated active energy, recuperated reactive energy, and GPS location.

Development of functional safety devices
Electrical Engineering Institute

Development of functional safety devices

For nearly three decades, we have been supporting our customers in addressing challenges arising from electronic embedded control systems. We have successfully developed a range of simple and modular solutions for a wide range of applications and have effectively tackled the problem of electronic component obsolescence through hardware and software compatibility. We specialize in research, development, and professional services in compliance with the functional safety standards – EN 50126/8/9 up to SIL4.

Other renewable sources
Electrical Engineering Institute

Other renewable sources

We equip power generation systems leveraging renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind, utilizing hydrogen technology.

Our management system developed on a proprietary HW&SW platform participates in energy balancing of all sources and energy storage, while additionally providing remote communication capabilities. In such modern projects, the goal is for the autonomous power supply system to operate as a closed system, capable of powering devices without GHG emissions.

Services

Services

Besides supporting KONČAR Group in the design, development and enhancement of advanced products and solutions, we also provide a wide range of R&D, testing & diagnostic services to external partners and customers.

Our R&D department advances KONČAR's portfolio for the global market through innovation. Our scientific research projects rely on cutting-edge technologies in order to upgrade our complex solutions.

The Laboratory Centre provides comprehensive testing support necessary for product market placement. In compliance with legally defined standards and our own certification schemes, we conduct conformity assessments according to the requirements of standards, regulations, and other specifications.

INDOK and Library

INDOK and Library

Our information and documentation department dates back to 1946, when a library was set up at Rade Končar Co. Today, we share resources with both the local and international community and provide access to information. We support high-quality research and development, and engage in the preservation and protection of professional knowledge.

Our collection boasts over 20,000 printed professional books and more than 800 scientific and professional journals in the fields of power engineering, electronics, energy, transport, and natural sciences. We offer access to databases of scientific and professional e-books, e-proceedings, e-articles, doctoral dissertations, as well as master's and bachelor's theses.

Digital Factory Lab

Digital Factory Lab

KONČAR Digital Factory Lab is a virtual hub built around high-tech software solutions for the manufacturing industry. The concept of this innovation lab is to make the journey towards digital transformation, digital factories, and Industry 4.0 more accessible and less risky.

DFL is an initiative led by KONČAR, Dassault Systèmes, and CADCAM Group. Other partners are welcome to join the initiative permanently or temporarily if it aligns with the interests of the project. Companies, consultants, institutions, universities, or individuals can join the project, and each stakeholder may have different reasons for participation in the innovation lab. The greatest opportunities the Lab offers are development of strong business and technological relationships, exploration of new technologies, transfer of knowledge and improved market visibility.
