Prerequisites

LELEC 1370 electrical circuits and measurements

LINMA 1510 control

LELEC 1330 semiconductor devices

Main themes
  • Theory of electrical circuits
  • Semiconductor physics  
  • Automatic control
  • Thermal behaviour
  • Magnetics

in the frame of energy conversion and motor control with power semiconductor switches 

Aims

- AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3, - AA2.1, AA2.3, AA2.5, - AA3.2, AA3.3, -  AA5.4, AA5.5

More precisely at the end of the course students will be able to

  • determine the electrical quantities inside a converter and at its terminals for DC-DC converters, inverters and rectifiers
  • evaluate the electrical and thermal stresses of active and passive components in power electronic converters
  • build and make use of the small signal model of a converter (in particular of a DC-DC converter)
  • use simulink for building a state variable model of a power electronic
  • size the main components of a converter on the basis of specifications  (in particular the coils and transformers

and

  • use an Excel file for sizing a converter
  • use a power electronic converter as a control device
Evaluation methods

Assesment of the practical work on the basis of reports issued by groups of 3 to 4 students  (simulation and sizing of converters), (25 % of the final note),

Written assesment without documentation (75 % of the final note) with a duration of 3 hours

Teaching methods

- lectures

- tutored solving  in groups of problems (simulation and sizing of converters) posted on iCampus

- use of softwares (Simulink, Pspice, Excel')
