Class Objectives
/Class Outline Students will learn about power conversion circuits such as DC/DC converters and PWM inverters, power semiconductor devices (IGBTs, diodes, etc.), and power electronic application systems (motor drive and power systems).  Circuit simulation examples will be demonstrated to enhance understanding of circuit behaviors.

Class Schedule lesson1  Overview of power electronics (Semiconductor devices, Electronic circuits and Control)
lesson2  Basic AC/DC converters (Diode rectifiers)
lesson3  Basic DC/DC converters (Buck/boost converters)
lesson4  Basic DC/AC converters (Square-wave-controlled inverters)
lesson5  PWM inverters (Sinusoidal-PWM control, harmonics)
lesson6  PWM rectifiers
lesson7  Isolated DC/DC converters
lesson8  Summary of the first half [Final assignment will be given.]
lesson9  Power semiconductor devices (Lateral/vertical, unipolar/bipolar, Si/SiC/GaN)
lesson10  Modeling and simulation (Semiconductor devices, circuits, systems)
lesson11  Gate drive circuits, protection circuits, IPMs
lesson12  Feedback control technology (PID control)
lesson13  Example applications of power electronics
lesson14  AC/AC converters and its applications (Matrix converters)
lesson15  Summary of the latter half [Final assignment due.]

Quizzes (15 times) and final assignment.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Lecture materials will be provided for advance reading.
Bilingual lecture videos will be useful for preparation and review.
The 8th and 15th lectures will review the previous lectures for better understanding.

Requirements This course is offered on Mondays and Fridays during the third term.  However, please note that two of the Monday sessions have been rescheduled to different days according to the academic calendar.
There are no prerequisites for this course.  While it is related to the specialized engineering course “Power Electronics and Motor Control Application,” you can take this course even if you have not completed that one.

Grading Method Quizzes (4% x 15 times) and final assignment (40%).
