Aim:  The course aims to give the students:
- A solid foundation for design decisions by comparing possible solutions and their consequences for selected power electronic circuits.
And:
- To teach new methods to analyse and design optimum and robust power electronic circuits.
- To evaluate possibilities and limitations of design methods for power electronics.
- To list design criteria and refine them by iterative analysis.
Contents:  The course will focus on the newest and most common methods within power electronics. The methods will be processes for an engineering point of view.
The design of examples of power electronic circuits is explained and their properties are compared with a view to making the correct choice of principle in an actual application. The course attempts to illustrate principles for design decisions and optimisations in such a way that the method can be applied within other specialised technical fields.
To this end, in-house and existing PC-programs are used as decision tools to large extent.
Modelling and simulation.
Because the course will focus on the newest theory and research within power electronics the subjects and the length of the subjects will vary from year to year.
