> https://icampus.uclouvain.be/claroline/course/index.php?cid=ELEC2660

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

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

- 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)
• size the main components of a converter on the basis of specifications

and

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

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

- lectures

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

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