This unit covers the operation of power electronic circuits set into the context of actuation and renewable energy generation. The fundamental converter topologies are covered first as a means to understanding more complex 3-phase inverters. Inverter operation is studied in examples and by computer simulation. Finally, their integration into larger systems is discussed, for example where inverters tie renewable energy generation to electrical networks. Power quality, network stability, influence of parasitics and layout, and energy efficiency are topics throughout.
Having completed this unit, students will be able to:
Interactive lectures with in-class examples for all ILOs. Handouts contain all examples, and time is provided to complete all examples in class. Solutions are provided in class, and online after the lectures. Discussion and debate is encouraged.
Coursework allows students to generate the results presented in lectures, model most circuits presented, and is to be carried out during the course. A laboratory session is timetabled to provide tips and individual feedback on the coursework.
Name: Terminal Exam
Exam, 2 hours (100%) (All ILOs)
