The aim of this unit is to understand the requirements of modern power networks in terms of energy conversion through power electronics and machines and demonstrate the benefit of full system integration.
This unit covers the requirements of modern power networks in terms of energy conversion through power electronics and machines. It discusses the basics of power semiconductor devices, converter topologies ranging from the switched-mode power supplies to MW-rated power converters in transmission systems, analysis of power systems and the synchronous machines that connect to these systems.
The unit will use a range of end-to-end case studies to allow students to experience first-hand and explore the design considerations and trade-offs that engineers must balance when prototyping innovative, efficient and integrated solutions to real-world problems.
Upon successful completion of the units students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, activities supported by self-directed exercises and by problem sheets.
