About this event

Power Electronics for Electrical Engineering is a comprehensive course designed to provide in-depth knowledge of power electronic devices, circuits, and systems. This course covers fundamental concepts and advanced applications of power electronics, essential for modern electrical engineering. Key topics include power semiconductor devices, rectifiers, AC and DC choppers, and inverters. Students will learn the operation, design, and analysis of power electronic converters used in energy conversion and control. This course is critical for understanding the role of power electronics in renewable energy systems, electric drives, and industrial automation.

The curriculum begins with an introduction to power electronic components, explaining semiconductor devices like diodes, thyristors, MOSFETs, and IGBTs. Next, it explores rectifier circuits, focusing on converting AC to DC efficiently. AC choppers and DC choppers units cover controlled voltage conversion in AC and DC systems respectively. Finally, the course addresses inverter circuits that convert DC back to AC, vital for grid-connected renewable energy and motor drives.
