Educational goal:

Power Electronics 1 course objective is to enable the student to design and apply devices for converting parameters of electrical energy using the powerful electronic switching components and methods of digital control, that is, in addition to the theoretical studying of strong semiconductors and modes of all kinds of converters (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC and AC/DC), students acquire the necessary practical experience to apply the acquired knowledge in the economy.

Educational outcome:

After mastering the course Power Electronics 1, students will be able to understand the principles and operation methods of power electronic conversions with strong semiconductor components, to solve and calculate simple solutions of power converters, as well as to apply commercial industrial power converters to electromotive drives and similar applications. They will be able to calculate methods of protection of these devices, as well as to predict their negative impact on network and fed consumers.

Course content:

Subject and the importance of the power electronics. Introduction to power converters. Components of power electronics. Structure and the operation principles. Safe operation field. Calculation of losses. Adjusters (AC/DC). Inverters (DC/AC). Alternating power suppliers (AC/AC). Power converters and the power quality. Converters for compensation and improvement of the power quality. Excitation circuit for switching components. Methods of control and regulation of power converters. Application examples of the power electronic devices.

Teaching methods:

Lecturing theoretical operational principles of strong electronic components and power electronic converters, Auditory Practice where problems of calculation of the power converters and their protective circuits are solved, Laboratory Practice where students gain practical proof of the theoretical knowledge and gain necessary practical experience and confidence using modular approach and independent work.
