| Aims |
With respect to the AA referring system defined for the Master in Electrical Engineering, the course contributes to the development, mastery and assessment of the following skills :
-
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
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and
command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be

“Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
|
| 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')
