Enrolment rules
You must be currently enrolled in a master’s course in engineering or related STEM and in a related discipline. The unit assumes that you have the necessary foundational knowledge.
Overview
This unit presents an extensive range of power electronic converter applications with a focus on renewable energy resources integration. The unit starts with modelling of DC/DC and DC/AC converters and then continues to design various voltage/current closed-loop controllers for these converters. The designed closed-loop control systems are then extended to applications of these converters in renewable energy grid integration contexts such as wind and solar resources. Additionally, other advanced applications of power electronic converters such as static compensators, active filters, power factor correctors, energy storage systems, grid forming inverters, etc. are introduced.
Offerings in 2023
The 2023 handbook lists no offerings for ECE5156.
