      Objectives of general skills

      • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
        • Study a machine, equipment, system, method or device by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
        • Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      Understand the operation of the main static power converters (including their control) and exploit their electrical characteristics. Identify the different commutation modes of the power switches. Learn the various industrial applications of these converters.

      UE Content

      semiconductor power components: diode, thyristor, fully-controlled components; self-commutated converters: basic circuits, bridge circuits, inverter operation, voltage quality; choppers: step-down, step-up and buck-boost, continuous / discontinuous conduction modes, H-bridge; inverters: basic concepts, three-phase VSI, PWM and square-wave switching schemes.
