Advanced Power Electronics

Course aim

Advanced Power Electronics builds on the course Power Electronics and Drives. In this course, students will be introduced to the latest power electronic devices and their applications in power conversion systems

Course content

Recent advances in power electronics devices such as gate turn off thyristors (GTOs), insulated gate bipolar power transistors (IGBT's), and mosfet controlled thyristors [MCTS] and their applications in power conversion systems.

System considerations, power electronic drive systems, performance of machines driven by power electronic converters and effect on machine ratings. The industrial drives and their classification. Dynamic analysis and performance characteristics of AC and DC drives. Direct and indirect vector controlled drives.
