The course can be completed by passing the final exam. The course grade can be upgraded by one by carrying out the offered homeworks. |
Learning Outcomes
The objective of the course is to give the basic knowledge on diode and thyristor-based rectifiers, switched-mode converters and active-switch-based rectifiers/inverters. The student can sketch the waveforms associated to the converters. The students can solve the voltage/current stresses for selecting the power-stage components. The students get the knowledge of basic control and modulation methods of the converters.
