130 credits in science/engineering including 10 credits at Master's level. Attended course in Power Electronics I.
Learning outcomes
After a successfully completed course the student should be able to:
- analyse and design isolated DC-DC converters and account for their control,
- analyse and design switch mode DC-AC voltage converter,
- analyse harmonics for different pulse width modulation (PWM) switching techniques,
- account for different topologies of multistage converters,
- analyse resonant converters,
- estimate losses in power electronic components and dimension heat sinks.
Content
DC-DC converters: Flyback-, Forward and Full-bridge converter topologoes, functional principles, waveform analysis, simulation studies, control. DC-AC converters: introduction of various converters, voltage source inverters (VSI) and current source inverters (CSI), half- and full-bridge VSI topologies, unipolar and bipolar PWM schemes, harmonic analysis of different PWM switching techniques. Multistage converters: applications, topologies, characteristics of various types, diode-clamped type and cascade-type, principles and applications. Resonant converters: topologies, characteristics of zero-voltage and zero-current switching. Thermal management: losses in components and dimensioning of heat sinks.
Instruction
Lectures, theoretical exercises, computer simulations and laboratory exercises.
Assessment
Written examination (3 credits) as well as presentation of laboratory exercises (2 credits).
