| Aim: The course aims to give the students: A solid understanding of the principles of power electronic circuits. A solid foundation for design dicisions by comparing posible solutions and their consequences for selected power electronic circuits. An overview of power electronic semiconductors and circuits properties. Possibilities for evaluating advantages and disadvantages of power electronic circuits and components. |
| Contents: Thorough analysis of different types of power electronic circuits for energy conversion, primary below about 5kW, e.g.: Switch mode power supplies, motor drive, power factor correction, linear and switch mode audio power amplifiers. Component and circuit properties and data, and snubber circuits. Control circuits and their principles including examples of control loops. Reduction of electromagnetic noise (EMC) from power electronic circuits. 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. |
