Transfer functions and block diagrams; root-locus techniques; time and frequency analysis techniques; compensation; transducers and servo-system elements. Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives Study of power electronic circuits and applications including switch-mode regulators, AC-DC, DC-DC, and DC-AC conversion, uninterruptible power supplies, variable speed drives, active filtering and harmonic cancellation. There are laboratory demonstrations of the technology. Applications include electric vehicle prolusion and spacecraft power systems. This course provides an introduction to power electronic systems. The course begins with fundamental power computations such as instantaneous power, average power, power factor, rms values, and harmonics. This is followed by switch-mode energy conversion, AC-DC. DC-DC, step-down, buck, step-up, boost, buck/boost converters, working in both the continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. Also covered are switching losses, resistive and inductive loads, conductions losses, thermal considerations, control of converters including state-space-averaging. The course typical ends with a look at DC-AC conversion, including inverters and adjustable speed drives Course Topics • Review of fundamentals including instantaneous power, average power, RMS, harmonics, linear and non linear circuits, single phase and three phase • Power Factor in linear and non linear circuits • AC-DC Phase ControlEE136, Spring Semester, 2011 Page 2 of 7 • DC-DC switch-mode converters • Step-Down Buck converter • Step-Up Boost converter • Buck/Boost converter • Continuous and discontinuous conduction modes • Switching losses, resistive and inductive loads • Conduction losses • Thermal considerations • Introduction to snubbers • State-Space averaged model for the Buck regulator • DC-AC converters, inverters • Switch-mode power circuit layout • Introduction to adjustable speed drives • Introduction to uninterruptible power supplies • Introduction to active power factor correction • Projects, State of the Art Solar Inverter GE/SJSU Studies Learning Outcomes (LO), if applicable Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: LO1 Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, including its mathematical and scientific principles, analysis and design LO2 Demonstrate the ability to apply the practice of Engineering in real-world problems Course Content Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: LO3 Analyze power flow with and without harmonics [HW 1,2] (a) LO4 Analyze Power Factor in linear and non linear circuits [HW 1, HW 9] (a,e,k) LO5 Analyze DC-DC switch-mode converters, Buck, [HW 3], Boost, [HW 4], Buck/Bust [HW 5] (a,e,k,l) LO6 Analyze continuous/discontinuous conduction mod [HW 3, ..] (a,k) LO7 Analyze switching losses, resistive and inductive loads, conduction losses [HW 5,6] (a,e) LO8 Analyze state space of the buck converter, transfer function [HW 7 ?] (a,k) LO9 Analyze DC-AC converter [HW 8] (a,k,l) [Revisions/modifications as course progresses] ABET Outcomes The letters in parentheses in the course learning objectives refer to ABET criterion 3 outcomes satisfied by the course.
