Power Electronics - EEE4943

This course investigates the standard power converter topologies using cycle-by-cycle averaging to model the power electronics.  The course includes the study of ac to dc  power supplies such as are used in personal computers and other electronic devices, dc to dc converters such as are used in automotive and other battery-powered applications, and dc to ac converters such as are used in the speed control of electric motors and in power inverters used to produce 110V ac from the battery of an automobile.  The course studies the component building blocks of power electronic circuits as well as design strategies and design considerations.  The course includes a brief introduction to the design of magnetic components.
