Synopsis
This course provides an understanding of the principles of power electronic conversion systems
and the ability to design power converters for certain applications. The topics covered are: 1.
Concepts and prospects of power electronic systems: power switches, switching methods, drivers,
losses, simulation. 2. ac-to dc conversion: rectifier with different loads, performance criteria, line
distortion, effects of line inductance/overlap. 3. dc to dc conversion: non-isolated topologiesBuck, Boost, Buck-boost, CCM, DCM operation, non-idealities, isolated topologies-Flyback, FullBridge, switched-mode power supply, converter control. 4. dc to ac conversion: half bridge, full
bridge, three-phase, harmonics and THD, square wave, PWM inverters, switching methodsbipolar, unipolar, harmonics elimination PWM, Space Vector modulation, advance inverter
topologies. The focus is the design of power converters for specific applications such as utility,
domestic appliance, electric vehicle and industrial applications.
