Power electronic converters
ECE4055
Synopsis
The unit presents a structured treatment of the design of switched-mode power electronic converters. The unit starts with passive diode rectifiers followed by thyristor rectifiers. Introducing various semi-conductor active switches, commutation cells and pulse width modulation techniques, various active power electronics converters including DC/DC buck and boost converters, flyback converters, resonant converters, two-level DC/AC converters, and three-level DC/AC converters will be studied in detail. Finally, a few real-world applications such as variable speed drives and power filters are presented as examples.
