Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Power Electronics (Part 1): 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.
Power Electronics (Part 2): Deepen knowledge on the main power converters. Understand the operation principle of the main isolated power converters. Being able to conduct a power losses calculation in a converter.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Power Electronics (Part 1): 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.
Power Electronics (Part 2): basic elements of static power converters (switch and source concepts); switch-mode power supplies; complements on inverters; resonant power converters; power losses calculation in static converters.
