Objectives

The course is project oriented and centered in the study of methods and architectures to design engineering systems based on power electronics. The course aims to provide knowledge and methods to allow the students to:
1. Critically evaluate technological solutions and recent developments in the field of designing power electronics systems
2. Design and integrate electronics subsystems, analogue and digital, of low and high power, namely considering the processed energy and the control platform
3. Incorporate in a project electromagnetic compatibility issues
4. Satisfy European directives in the power electronics systems domain
5. Work in group
6. Produce technical reports and make oral presentations

Program

1. Power electronics converters
1.1 Switching mode power supplies
1.2 Resonant converters
1.3 Multilevel converters
2. Electromagnetic compatibility
2.1 European Union Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility
2.2 Conducted and radiated emission. Susceptibility. Electromagnetic compatibility in power electronics systems
2.3 Design of circuits and systems
3. Power electronics systems and the environment

Teaching methods and learning activities

The theoretical classes are of three types:
- Tutorials
- Presentation and discussion of applied examples
- Collective analysis of the practical works
The practical classes are of two types:
- Accompanying the execution of the simulation and experimental works
- Demonstration of industrial equipment
The practical works must be presented in a dedicated oral session.

Software

Eligibility for exams

To be present in the minimum legal of practical classes AND obtain a minimum of 40% in the practical work evaluation (simulation and experimental)

Calculation formula of final grade

Evaluation components:
S: simulation work; E: experimental work; EX: exam
FM: final mark

FM=0.2*S+0.3*E+0.5*EX
Course approval requires a minimum of 40% in the exam

Examinations or Special Assignments

None.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

None.
Simulation and experimental works can be done outside the course schedule (open lab).
Practical works are mandatory for all course students.

Classification improvement

Any evaluation component (practical or exam) can be improved, in the established dates.

Observations

Pre-requisites for a successful course:
- Fundamental knowledge of signal conditioning and analysis and power electronics converters
In order to obtain the required skills, students must do an individual work (simulation) and a team work (experimental). A written report and an oral presentation must be done regarding each work. The demonstration of acquired skills is made through the evaluation of all the referred items (reports and presentations), as well as the final exam.
