Summary

This module provides students with an understanding of the operational principles of power electronic converters and their associated systems and enables students to design both analogue and digital controllers for linear single-input single-output systems.

Target Students

MEng and MSc students of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Classes

Assessment

Educational Aims

To provide an in-depth knowledge of advanced power electronics covering well established and more recent technologies. The emphasis is upon circuits and their applications rather than on the technology of power switching devices.To provide students with good knowledge of traditional linear control design theories and their application to a variety of practical industrial systems.To provide students with the skills and techniques necessary to analyse and synthesise controllers ranging from a simple proportional structure to a PI, PID and other second order structures using root locus and frequency response strategies both in continuous and in discrete domain.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, students should be able to:

LO1    Describe and analyse the operation of a range of practical power electronic circuits and their applications.
LO2    Apply basic average techniques to model a range of practical power electronic circuits.
LO3    Apply basic design calculations for a range of practical power electronic circuits and their applications.
LO4    Describe and analyse typical control tasks in power electronic systems.
LO5    Describe and apply root locus control techniques to the design of linear continuous and discrete controllers.
LO6    Assess methods to perform basic average modelling of power electronic circuits and their control design using CAD tools.
LO7    Analyse the performance of power electronic circuits and their control by means of switching models and CAD tools.
