Content
This course introduces a comprehensive overview of different power electronics components and applications. It presents the basics of devices, their characteristics, their principle of operation, and their range of applications as well. The course also underlines the principle of operation of converters used in DC drives (diodes rectifiers, controlled rectifiers and choppers). It discusses the principle of harmonics, performance parameters and filtering techniques. Furthermore, upon completion of this course, the student will be able to outline the characteristics and operation principle of power AC drives (inverters and AC-AC controllers). Mainly full bridge and three phase circuits are highlighted. The effect of inductive loads and protection schemes are discussed as well. The student will understand and be able to describe switching techniques and conduct both performance and harmonical studies. The student will be able to demonstrate a certain familiarity with the various configurations and applications and to develop models and simulations. o Introduction & Basics in Power Electronics: Purpose, History &Application, Devices & Circuits Characteristics, Ideal and Practical device, Semi-conductors basics o Conversion Basics & Diodes Rectifiers : Conversion Circuits Types, Switching Sequence & Methodology, Protection, Performance Parameters, FW SP Diode Rectifier, FW 3P Diode Rectifier o Controlled Rectifiers & DC/DC converters: FW SP Controlled Rectifier, FW 3P Controlled Rectifier, o Introduction to DC-DC drives: Buck Converter, Boost Converter, Buck Regulator, Other topologies o DC/AC Conversion: Introduction to AC Drives, SP Full Bridge Inverter, 3P Full Bridge Inverter o AC-AC Conversion: R Load
