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 topologies, 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. Multilevel inverters: application areas, 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, tutorials, computer simulations and laboratory exercises.
Assessment
Written examination (3 credits) as well as presentation of laboratory exercises (2 credits).
