Power Electronics

  • Course Number: 4722
  • Subject: Electrical Engineering
  • Semester(s) Offered: Fall
  • Credit Hours: 3
  • Description:

    This course introduces the basics of power electronic circuits and their applications in modern power systems. Topics include converters and inverters, and their applications in power systems. Course material covers DC-DC converters in buck and boost topologies, and their analysis; AC-DC rectification and control; DC-AC inverters and their applications in voltage and frequency control; three-phase inverters and HVDC transmission. This course will use Matlab/Simulink simulation for student projects and homework.
