ENEE612

Advanced Power Electronics

Prerequisite: ENEE303, ENEE475, or ENEE476; or students who have taken courses with comparable content may contact the department. Credit only granted for: ENEE719B or ENEE612. Formerly: ENEE719B. Advanced power electronic converters, techniques to model and control switching circuits, pulse width modulation, resonant switch converters, resonant DC-link converters, series and parallel loaded resonant (SLR, PLR) DC-DC converters, zero voltage switching clamped-voltage (ZVS-CV) converters, ZVS resonant-switch DC-DC converters are explained. In addition, this course deals with small-signal and large-signal modeling and control of switched mode power converters, sliding-mode operation, state space models, generalized state-space averaging, and feedback linearization techniques. Multiple-input converters and their operational principles are explained. Furthermore, practical design procedures for type II and type III compensators with voltage-mode error-amplifier for DC/DC converters are explained.
