Dr. Heribert SCHMIDT studied electrical engineering at the Universities of Cologne and Aachen. After he obtained his doctorate in electronics from the University of Aachen, he worked in the field of space technology at Dornier Systemtechnik, Germany. In 1988 he joined the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Germany. His main research field is power electronics for PV-systems, namely inverters, battery management systems and BOS components. He holds several patents in these fields. In 2011, he received the "Josef-von-Fraunhofer-Price" for the development and marketing of the HERIC-topology for solar inverters. In 2012, Heribert Schmidt was nominated as a fellow of the Fraunhofer ISE. Dr. Schmidt lectures since 1996 in the field of PV systems technology at the Technical University of Karlsruhe KIT. |
