BACKGROUND: Power electronics converters are the most common hardware in our world starting in the mobile phones in our pocket and finishing in HVDC converters in power plants. So this course introduces Students to the subject of power semiconductors switches and converters. SPECIFIC AIMS: This course aims to give knowledge on the analysis and simulation of the main semiconductors devices, electronic converters and electrical network power electronics interfaces through: I- the analysis of the most common power electronics static energy conversion systems; II- the design of small systems, taking into account their interface with the electric network and the load; III- the usage of specific CAD tools, such as MULTISIM, MATLAB and PSIM.
