Objectives

Electric energy control and conversion through electronic power converters using solid-state devices are nowadays a common place in domestic and industrial applications. In fact about 50% of all the used electric power passes by solid-state devices before arriving at the final consumer. In this way the basic knowledge and understanding of the devices, converters and controls are therefore essential to the engineer of our days. Thus this discipline introduces the pupils in the analysis and simulation of the main devices and converters associated to the power electronics.

Program

1- Power electronics devices: diodes, thyristors and transistors.
2- Phase controlled rectifiers and examples of application.
3- DC/DC converters and examples of application.
4- DC/AC converters and examples of application.
5- AC/AC converters and examples of application.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Classes are divided in:
1- Lectures (Teóricas)- 2 hpw
2- Example classes (Teórico-Práticas) -as needed.
3- Labs (Práticas)- 2 hpw.
At the Lectures concepts and results are presented after some previous motivation. Examples illustrating the applications of concepts and results are treated. Students are encouraged to participate and ask whatever questions related to the subjects being discussed.
At the Example classes students present their doubts to be solved interactively in the class.
Finally at Labs students are involved in doing some experimental work.

Software

Eligibility for exams

There are four evaluation components:
1-One laboratorial work with final report.
2-Two Theoretical Examinations that lasts 45 minutes.
3-A Final examination in the end of the semester. The final examination is a written exam that lasts 2 hours.
The Labs and Theoretical Examinations evaluation marks of each student are published before the final examination.
A student is allowed to take the final exam if he/she attains at least 75% of Labs during the semester and has no less than 35% in the marks of Labs and Theoretical Examinations.

Calculation formula of final grade

Let LE be the mark of the Lab Examination component, TE the mark of the Theoretical Examinations, and FE the mark of Final Examination (all in a 0-20 scale).
The final mark of the course is calculated by the following formula:
IF{LE>7 AND TE>7}
THEN
MARK = {0.3*LE+0.2*TE+0.5*FE}
ELSE
MARK = 'SF'
END

Examinations or Special Assignments

None

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with special status (working students, etc) also need to attain the Labs and they cannot be evaluated by final exam only.
