ECE 191/291T
Course Description: This course covers advanced topics in power electronics. The
topics are: rectifiers, inverters and multi-level inverters, resonant and soft-switching
converters, advanced switching techniques, power converter stability, and control issues
in various applications, specially in energy applications.
Since this is a 3-unit class, you should expect to study an average of 6 hours outside of
class each week.
COURSE SPECIFICS
1
Summary/Outline of the Course: The main topics are advanced PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) switching schemes and design methodologies in various applications.
Computer-aided design will be utilized for power electronics applications.
Course Goals: The objective of the course is to have the students learn advanced designs
and important and current applications, including converters for renewable and
alternative energy sources.
With a successful completion of this course, you should have achieved the following
learning outcomes as related to this course:
5. Conduct literature searches and formulate ideas via critical thinking practices.
- Formulate a project idea from one of the following topic areas: multilevel inverter,
space vector PWM, or power converters for renewable and energy applications.
- Conduct a thorough literature search and review.
2
- Use critical thinking practices to design a best solution. For example, your solution
might represent high energy efficiency or system optimization.
Course Requirements/Assignments:
Project: A power converter modeling and design project for energy applications will be
assigned after 8 weeks of instruction. It will be completed using computer simulation
tools. The project is due the last day of class.
Grading Policy: The total number of possible points is 1000. Each student’s point total
will be divided by 10, so that the new scale is within in the range 0 to 100. Each student’s
letter grade will be determined from his/her number on the 100-point scale as indicated
below:
A = High competence
B = Competence
C = Minimum competence

and may result in disciplinary action that significantly impacts your grade. The front page
of each assignment must contain the following statement, signed and dated by yourself:
“I have done my own work and have neither given nor received unauthorized
assistance on this work.”
Also if more than one page is required for the homework, the pages must be stapled. If
not, there is a 5 point penalty. No late homework will be accepted.
Note: I reserve the right to ask you to move to another chair at any time during an exam.
Professionalism: In preparation for the business world, students should refrain from
unprofessional behavior. Students should act respectfully to other students as well as the
professor. If a student engages in disruptive behavior, the student will be dismissed from
class. Examples of unprofessional (disruptive) behavior include but are not limited to:
• Surfing the Internet using your personal computer or lab computer or cell phone
• Private conversations
• Sleeping
Also Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly prohibited inside the classroom.
If you were caught with these disruptive behaviors, I may ask you to leave the classroom,
but for the first time for these disruptive behaviors, I may give you a warning only.

E-Mail: It is expected that additional announcements will have to be made from time to
time outside the classroom via the course Blackboard website. Therefore, each student is
expected to check their e-mail on a regular basis (at least once a day) to ensure that they
receive any communication from instructor.
Audio/Video Recording: You may not record any of the lectures using either audio
and/or video without prior consent from the Instructor.
University Policies
Students with Disabilities: Upon identifying themselves to the instructor and the
university, students with disabilities will receive reasonable accommodation for learning
and evaluation. For more information, contact Services to Students with Disabilities in
the University Center Room 5 (278-2811).
Policy on Student Absences: A student’s first responsibility is to attend class and learn.
The University expects students to attend all classes for which they are enrolled.
Instructors may establish specific attendance regulations and make-up work policies
governing their classes and must provide them to their students at the beginning of the
semester. (For details of policy on student absences, please refer to APM 232.)
Honor Code: “Members of the CSU Fresno academic community adhere to principles of
academic integrity and mutual respect while engaged in university work and related
activities.” You should understand or seek clarification about expectations for academic
integrity in this course (including no cheating, plagiarism and inappropriate
collaboration).
1. Neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on examinations or other course work that is
used by the instructor as the basis of grading.
2. Take responsibility to monitor academic dishonesty in any form and to report it to the
instructor or other appropriate official for action.
3. Instructors may require students to sign a statement at the end of all exams and
assignments that states:
“I have done my own work and have neither given nor received unauthorized
assistance on this work.”

limited to examination situations only, but that it include any and all actions by a student
that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by fraudulent or deceptive
means. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of the
published and/or unpublished works of others by misrepresenting the material (i.e., their
intellectual property) so used as one's own work. Penalties for cheating and plagiarism
range from a 0 or F on a particular assignment, through an F for the course, to expulsion
from the university. For more information on the University's policy regarding cheating
and plagiarism, refer to the Class Schedule (Legal Notices on Cheating and Plagiarism)
or the University Catalog (Policies and Regulations).
