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.
