Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide skills for the analysis and the design of power electronic converters. Main topics are the topologies of DC/DC, DC/AC and AC/AC converters, the criteria for sizing, and the control strategies. Specific industrial applications of these converters, such as UPS, motor control, and active filters, will be analyzed.
