ESPB 6.0 Status elective
Condition Attended classes in Power converters 1.
The goal Introducing students to advanced topologies and modulation techniques in power converters. Analysis of converter systems in practical applications. Introduction to auxiliary electrical circuits (control circuits, circuits for connecting and disconnecting converters, etc.).
The outcome Students should understand the principles of operation of PWM choppers and single-phase and three-phase voltage-controlled PWM inverters and rectifiers. Based on the acquired knowledge, students should be able to select the optimal converter topology for a given application, select its components, and implement open-loop modulation.
Contents
Contents of lectures Choppers: Selection of converter components. Thermal calculation and heat sink selection. EMI and filtering. Solar systems. Inverters: Three-phase inverters – sine wave modulation with third harmonic injection. Space Vector modulation. Pre-charge and Discharge circuit. Rectifiers: Synchronization and switching of thyristors. PFC and active rectifiers. UPS systems. Reactive power compensation.
Contents of exercises Analysis of the operation of PWM inverters and network-controlled rectifiers in laboratory settings. Homework - design of DC/DC converters with simulation in a software tool for numerical analysis of electrical circuits.
