Power Electronics

Catalog description

The course presents the principles of design, analysis and control of solid-state power electronics devices. The covered topics include power computations, RLC transients, power semiconductor devices and switches. The course also addresses DC-DC converter topologies, buck converters, boost and buck/boost converters, and feedback control of DC-DC Converters. Moreover, it discusses voltage mode and current mode control, AC voltage controllers, DC power supplies, AC-DC rectification, PWM rectifiers, fly-back converters, DC-AC single phase inversion, and 3-phase inverters. The material is supported by experiments work using of simulation software (e.g. Matlab/Simulink, PSpice). Prerequisites: EE 321 with a minimum grade of C.
