About this course
This course provides a foundation for power electronics principles and applications in renewable energy.
Topics:
1) Introduction to power electronics components, converters, and applications
2) Power conversion efficiency and power quality analysis
3) Analysis of power electronics converters: AC/DC; DC/DC; DC/AC converters
4) Power electronics applications in renewable energy: Wind turbines, PV systems, energy storage systems and electric vehicles
Learning outcome
Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to:
- Understand the fundamental principles of power electronics and their applications in renewable energy systems, including wind, solar photovoltaics, and energy storage systems.
- Analyze and design basic power electronic circuits used in renewable energy systems, such as rectifiers, inverters, and converters, considering efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Demonstrate proficiency in simulating and testing power electronic circuits using laboratory equipment and software tools and interpret experimental results to validate theoretical concepts and design principles.
LECTURES: Teaching through lectures.
CALCULATION EXERCISES: Calculation exercises will be given throughout the course.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS: Two numerical simulation exercises
LABORATORY EXERCISES: Two laboratory exercises
- Canvas. Tutoring by teaching assistants. Meetings with teacher by appointment.
- FYS230, FYS235
- FYS236, FYS272, TEL240
Project/simulation/laboratory activities: (40%), A-F
Final written exam (60%): 3.5 hours, A-F
Final grade: A-F
Assignment Grading: Letter grades School exam Grading: Letter grades Permitted aids: B1 Calculator handed out, no other aids- The external and internal examiners jointly prepare the exam questions and the correction manual. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's examination results by correcting a random sample of candidates' exams as a calibration according to the Department's guidelines for examination markings.
- Students must complete two mandatory numerical simulations and two compulsory laboratory assignments. The mandatory activities account for 40% (A-F) of the final grade.
The teaching period consists of 3 weeks.
Lectures: 5 x 3 hours x 2 weeks = 30 hours.
Calculation exercises: 5 x 2 hours x 2 weeks = 20 hours.
The last week is dedicated to simulation & laboratory exercises and self-study.
Laboratory exercises: 2 x 4 hours = 8 hours
