| This graduate course will cover the design, structure, and principles of operating various switch-mode and resonant power electronic converters (PECs), along with their control techniques. Over the past few decades, there have been growing industrial demands for different PECs in a wide range of applications, including power systems, renewable energy systems. These demands have created needs for designing new topologies and controllers (convential and intelligent) that can offer accurate, efficient, and economic performances. This course aimes to cover several types and topologies of PECs and their controllers. Moreover, this course will cover designing and modeling different controllers in different reference frames, which can simplify the implementation of controlled PECs. The Industrial Electronics graduate course is a lecture-based one that has design cases, projects and term papers. Also, this course will include labs as parts of the projects and term papers works. Finally, the course will provide students with practice to conduct literature reviews, search for articles, and practice writing technical papers. There will be one class test and a final exam. This course includes the following topics: advanced switch-mode PECs, resonant PECs , reference frame transformations, controllers for PECs, digital and micro-processor implementations, standards and industry practices for operation PECs. |
