Class Objectives
/Class Outline Various types of power electronics devices are used in power systems. In recent years, the adoption of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems has been accelerating, making power electronics technology indispensable for these applications.

This course provides an overview of the fundamentals and applications of power electronics. The primary objective is to understand the fundamental theories of semiconductor power conversion engineering, which utilizes the switching operation (large-amplitude characteristics) of power semiconductors to convert electrical energy into various forms, such as AC and DC. (Tentative)
