Power Electronics

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This course focuses on power electronics and solid-state converters, covering key topics such as switching devices, including Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors, Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors, and Gate Turn-ff Thyristors. It explores non-isolated and isolated DC-DC switched-mode converters, diode and thyristor bridges, as well as voltage-sourced converters like inverters and rectifiers. The curriculum emphasizes the practical applications of power electronics in industry, alongside discussions on typical digital and analog control schemes for power electronic converters. To reinforce understanding, important concepts are demonstrated through computer simulations and hands-on hardware labs.
