EE-529 POWER CONVERTER DESIGN

Learning Objectives 1. To design specify and apply power semiconductor converters which includes single phase and three phase Un-Controlled Rectifiers Controlled Rectifiers, DC-DC converters and AC Inverters. 2. Practical considerations involving the design of gate drive circuits for different converter topologies and design of snubber circuits. 3. Specific analysis on how these converters interact with the electric utility grid and load for various applications. 4. Practical Converter Design Considerations including design of Controllers, power inductors, high switching transformers, capacitor selection and layout for minimizing stray inductance. 5. Application of different power converter topologies to different industrial applications. 6. Concerns and remedies for power harmonics, current injection, distortion of utility waveforms. Learning outcomes Having successfully completed this course the students will be able to:Analyze, design and implement practically, industrial level power converters, according to the desired specifications, with all the necessary protection and instrumentation Course Contents Introduction; Steady State Converter Analysis & Modeling; Switch Realization; Converter Circuits: Circuit Manipulations; Transformer Isolation; Converter Evaluation &Design; AC Modeling: State-Space Averaging; Canonical Circuit Model; Converter Transfer Functions; Stability; Regulator Design; Case Study; Measurement Of Loop Gains; Discontinuous Mode Equivalent Circuit; Current Programmed Control; Magnetics Theory; Filter Inductor Design: Types & BH-Loops; Design Constraints & Design Procedure; Transformer Design: Design Procedure & Basic Constraints; AC Inductor Design; Case Studies; Modern Rectifiers & Power System Harmonics: Line-Commutated Rectifiers; Low Harmonic Rectifier Modeling And Control; Resonant Converters: Resonant Conversion; Quasi-Resonant Converters; Case Studies.
