Welcome to Institute of Physical Energetics
Institute of Physical Energetics (IPE) was established in 1946; at present, the staff of Institute is 120, including 43 Habilitated Doctors of Sciences (Dr.habil.) and Doctors of Sciences (Dr.), working at 13 research laboratories and groups.
IPE is the leading institute in Latvia in the field of energy research. Its main activities cover a wide scope of energy research issues, such as the modelling and analysis of the energy - environment interactions, the energy - environmental policy studies, the pricing and tariff policy in the energy sector, the energy efficiency improvement and energy conservation programmes. Integration of the technologies directed towards the rational use of energy to ensure sustainable development of the Latvian energy sector and optimisation of the heat energy production and consumption systems in Latvia are given special attention in the research work of the institute.
Research into electrical devices and machines is focused on the development of theoretical foundations of multipole (low-turn) asynchronous machines with immovable windings. The conversion theory for electric energy parameters is under development, meant for applications in automatic electrical drives and electrical energy supply systems.
Concerning advanced materials, the main research areas are as follows: new advanced organic materials and structures for non-linear optics, molecular electronics and technology, energy structure and charge carrier transport mechanisms of organic solids, design and research of the electro- and photophysical properties of photoactive and highly-polar organic solids for molecular electrets and sensors; investigations into the influence mechanisms of oxygen in fullerite systems under technological processes; and X-ray scattering, neutron radiation and ultrasound combined application for the studies of crystal deformations.

Main research areas: - regional energy sector analysis and optimisation; - energy saving management; - energy - environmental policy studies; - renewable energy resources; - energy efficiency; - electrical networks and electricity supply systems; - clean fossil energy technologies; - electrical devices and machines; - research into advanced materials and solid state physics problems. |
