Introduction to power electronic devices, converters and applications.

Course Topics (selected topics will be assigned).

Device properties, electrical and thermal protection design. HVDC transmission using line commutation. Harmonic control, multi-pulse structures, design of harmonic filters. Phase control and AC control circuits. Multi-level inverters. Utility applications of inverters, Flexible AC Transmission Systems.

Grading.

Four assignments: 100 points

(PWM inverters, Multilevel inverters, Flexible AC Transmission Systems, AC Drives)

Each assignment will include a project and an oral or written assessment.

All class assignments are to be submitted in the classroom at the day they are due. Late work will be penalized by a 10 point deduction per day unless a valid reason exists (illness, family emergencies, etc).
