Description

High Frequency Switching Converters, Multi-switch forward converters, Converter Modelling and Control, HF magnetics design, Snubbers, EMI and Thermal management, Semiconductor switch properties, resonant converters, induction machine properties, drives, starters and control, multi-level converters.

This course aims to give students a more in-depth understanding of selected areas of power electronics and motor control. Besides equipping the students with technical knowledge the course is taught is such a way as to train them to think through problems and learn to apply technical knowledge to real world problems. This is achieved through problem-based learning technique. An assignment based on building a practical circuit reinforces learning and to develop problem-solving skills.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understanding of a range of more complex power electronic  circuits, including multi-switch, multi-level  and resonant converters.
  • Enhance ability to deduce circuit operation by determining conduction modes
  • Understanding of modern control methods applied to converters and motor drives
  • Understanding more advanced magnetic circuit design
  • Understand and be able to manage EMI and thermal issues
  • Appreciate modern semiconductor properties and trends
  • Understanding non-ideal effects, and how to minimise and compensate for them
  • Understanding of AC motor properties and performance, and modelling methods appropriate for effective control.
