Speaker’s bio: Horst Schulte received the diploma degree in Electrical Engineering from TU Berlin and the Ph.D. degree in Control Engineering from University Kassel (Germany). He joined the Bosch Group in 2005 where he worked in R&D projects in the field of modeling, optimization and advanced control of actuators, power systems and drive trains. Since November 2009, he has been a full Professor at the University of Applied Sciences HTW Berlin. His research interests include nonlinear controller and observer design with Takagi-Sugeno (TS), LPV and sliding-mode techniques, robust control system design, active fault-tolerant control (FTC) system design with applications to nominal and fault tolerant control of wind turbines and wind farms, control of dynamic virtual power plants, and the modeling and control of power converters for sustainable power systems. He is the author of more than 183 scientific publications including international journal papers, book chapters, patents, and conference papers. Prof. Schulte is one of European Advanced Control and Diagnosis (EACD) steering committee members and a member of IFAC TC 6.4 Fault Detection, Supervision & Safety of Technical Processes and of IFAC TC 7.1 Automotive Control. He is an associate editor of the Journal ISA Transactions, a board member of the Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and the Chairman of the Federation of German Wind power and other Renewable Energies (FGW e.V.).
