Course aim
To train students in designing power converters through modelling, simulation and controller synthesis using industry-standard tools.
Course content
- Principles of power electronics.
- Characteristics of power semiconductor devices, e.g., power diode, thyristor, IGCT, power MOSFET, IGBT, wide-bandgap semiconductor devices.
- Figures of merit (e.g., efficiency, ripple factor, total harmonic distortion) and power-related computations.
- DC-DC conversion, including buck, boost, buck-boost, Cuk and SEPIC.
- AC-DC conversion (rectification): uncontrolled and controlled, half-wave and full-wave.
- DC-AC conversion (inversion): voltage-source and current-source.
- AC-AC conversion by AC voltage controller, cycloconverter and matrix converter.
- Applications of power converters.
