Learning Outcomes
After the successful completion of the course, the students will be able to: 1) Analyze and design dc/dc switching buck converters that satisfy certain design criteria. 2) Analyze and design dc/dc switching boost converters that satisfy certain design criteria. 3) Analyze and design dc/dc switching buck-boost converter that satisfy certain design criteria. 4) Analyze and design-by implementing various PWM techniques- dc/ac switching inverters that satisfy certain design criteria. 5) realize the interdependences among two or more of the above switching converter operating in the same power grid.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course is an introduction to the switching dc/dc and dc/ac power electronic converters. More specifically, the course analyzes: 1) the dc/dc buck converters. At this point, the principles of the PWM modulation are analysed. 2) the dc/dc boost converters. 3) the dc/dc buck-boost converters 4) the dc/dc Cuk buck-boost converter. 5) the full-bridge dc/dc converter. A performance and limitations comparison with the other dc/dc converters is made. 6)the various PWM techniques for dc to ac conversion (sinousoidal PWM, square-wave modulation, voltage cancellation, introduction of voltage notches, etc) 7) the single-phase, full-bridge dc/ac switching inverter 8) the three-phase, full-bridge dc/ac switching inverter 9) the single-phase flyback converter.
Keywords
pulse width modulation, switching dc/dc converters, switching dc/ac converters. power quality.

Student Assessment
Description
1) To each group of 3 students, a project is assigned. The written essay of the project is examined and gets a grade. A period of at least one month is given to each group to carry out the project and write the essay. The essay must be submitted 10 days before the oral examination of the students. 2) The students, in groups of 5, may attend an optional lab exercise. A written essay is submitted after the execution of the lab exercise. 3) The students are examined orally. 4) the final grade of the course is deduced as a combination of 1), 2) and 3) with 2) having the largest weight.
