Electronic Power Conversion

This course covers the principles of power conversion with switch-mode circuits with sustainable energy applications in mind. The basic circuits of power electronics are explained, including ac-dc converters (diode rectifiers), dc-dc converters (non-isolated) and dc-ac converters (inverters). Issues specific to power electronics including pulse width modulation, methods of analysis, voltage distortion, power quality and commonly used power semiconductor switches are treated.

The final grade of the course consists of the following components:

- Written final exam (closed book) (70%)

- Assignments (30%)

T = grade for written final exam * 0,7 + grade for assignments * 0,3

Resit/ Repair opportunities:

In case of an insufficient final result, repair options may exist in accordance with Article 17A, Times and number of examinations, sub 1, of the Teaching and Examination Regulations, for:

- Written exam: written resit
