What's inside

Five courses

Averaged-Switch Modeling and Simulation

This course focuses on practical design-oriented modeling and control of pulse-width modulated switched mode power converters. It introduces Middlebrook's feedback theorem for analysis and design of voltage regulators and other feedback circuits. Circuit averaging and averaged-switch modeling techniques lead to converter averaged models suitable for hand analysis, computer-aided analysis, and simulations of converters.

Techniques of Design-Oriented Analysis

(0 hours)
This course focuses on design-oriented analysis techniques for switching power converters. It covers the Extra Element Theorem and the N-Extra Element Theorem, which allow for simplified circuit analysis and design. Through practical examples, students will learn to apply these techniques to achieve high-performance closed-loop controls.

Input Filter Design

(0 hours)
This course covers input filter design for power electronics. Topics include electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and the design of single and multi-section filters. Students will learn to use computer-aided tools and simulations to verify input filter design.

Current-Mode Control

(0 hours)
This course focuses on current-mode control techniques for switched-mode power converters. It covers peak current-mode control, average current-mode control, slope compensation, and high-frequency effects. Upon completion, students will be able to understand, analyze, model, and design high-performance current-mode controllers for dc-dc power converters.

Modeling and Control of Single-Phase Rectifiers and Inverters

(0 hours)
This course focuses on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, and design low-harmonic rectifiers and inverters interfacing dc loads or dc power sources to the single-phase ac power grid.

Learning objectives

  • Master techniques of design-oriented analysis for switched-mode power converters.
  • Verify the design of closed-loop regulated power converters using switching and averaged circuit simulations.
  • Design high-performance peak current-mode control and average current-mode control loops.
  • Design input filters for switched-mode power converters.
  • Design power-factor correction rectifiers
  • Design dc-ac inverters for solar photovoltaic power systems
