Learning outcomes
This course is aimed at providing the basic knowledge needed for
the study of electronic circuits used in industrial automation,
with special emphasis on application issues of power
electronics
Course contents
Introduction to the industrial applications of power electronics.
Power efficiency and distortion in power amplifiers and electronic
converters. Mono-phase and three-phase rectifier circuits. Voltage
stabilizers. Filters for distortion redution. Power amplifiers:
study of the different classes of operation. Analysis of driving
problems of electrical motors and of the corresponding requirements
on power amplifiers. Switch-mode electronic power converters: DC/DC
an DC/AC schemes. Implementation of switching networks using power
diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs and IGBTs. Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM)
control, over two and four quadrants, of switch-mode power
converters. Basic concepts on heat dissipation and thermal limits
in power electron devices.
