Outline of lecture

This course presents analysis and control methods of power electronics circuits converting and controlling of electric power by using semiconductor switching devices. It deals with switching transitions in MOSFETs and IGBTs, commutation in voltage-source bridge converters, voltage and current feedback control, applications to grid-connected converters, and so on.

Purpose of lecture

Understanding of basic structure and driving methods for power MOSFETs and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).
Understanding of circuit topology and operating principle in basic power electronics circuits.
Analyzing of operating characteristics of basic power electronics circuit.
Understanding of control strategy for grid connection converters.
Design of the main circuit and the controller in a simple grid connection converter.
