Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give the student knowledge of principles for power electronics such as voltage conversion and power control. After completed course shall the student know how to
  • explain and analyse the function and operating modes of DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC converters
  • calculate the waveforms in DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC converters
  • describe the function of common semiconductors used in power control
  • know about drive and protection circuits for power control
  • describe and model thermal effects
  • describe various pulse width modulation principles
  • describe the control of DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC converters
  • know about drive and protection circuits for power control
  • define the base requirements for selection of components in converter design


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Circuit Theory

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is given through lectures, exercises and labs. A project task is included related to design of a power converter. The work will involve computer simulation, selection of components and measurements on the final circuit. Each sub-task will be separately reported. A final presentation is given to complete the project.

Course contents:
Power electronic applications, diode rectifiers, thyristor rectifiers, switch mode converters (DC-DC, AC-DC and DC-AC), power semiconductors, semiconductor rating and thermal effects, Boost, converter control and protection, switch-mode power supply, variable speed drive, high voltage applications (HVDC, SVC).

Course literature:
Power Electronics, Converters, Applications, and design, N. Mohan, T M Undeland, W P Robbins, Wiley, 2003
