Second cycle degree programme (LM) in
Electrical Energy Engineering (cod. 8611)
Also valid for Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Electrical Energy Engineering (cod. 8611)
Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide skills for the analysis and the design of power electronic converters. Main topics are the topologies of AC/DC, 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.
