Aims

The aim of the course is to study the main types of electronic power supplies using power semiconductors working as switches.

Content and teaching methods

- DC switch mode power supplies with or without sinusoidal input
- Resonant DC switch mode power supplies
- Uninterruptible AC power supplies

For each type of power supply the main converter topologies are analysed. The analysis includes the working principles of the converters, their dynamic modelling and their control. The domain of application of each type of converter is also discussed.
