Quarter: Autumn
Offered: 2023, 2024, 2025
This course introduces the fundamentals of power electronic converters and their practical design. Students will study power semiconductor devices, drive circuits, dc–dc converters, rectifiers, thyristor converters, magnetic components, isolated switch-mode power supplies, and thermal and capacitor selection. The course emphasizes steady-state analysis, component-level understanding, and design considerations for real power conversion systems.
Quarter: Winter
Offered: 2024, 2025, 2026
This course focuses on modeling and control of power electronic converters, with an emphasis on practical controller design, simulation, and hardware implementation. Students will learn averaged modeling techniques, frequency-domain analysis, and closed-loop control design, and apply them to real dc–dc converters through hands-on laboratory experiments and a final design project.
Quarter: Spring
Offered: 2025
This course covers the fundamentals and advanced topics of power electronics, beginning with a review of basic DC–DC converters and extending to resonant converter topologies, including series- and parallel-resonant operation, soft switching, and load-dependent behavior. It also introduces magnetic component design and emerging technologies such as high-frequency inverters, switched-capacitor converters, wireless power transfer, and wide-bandgap power devices.
