After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze and to fundamentally design power electronic circuits in their basic functions as well as to present and explain the associated current / voltage characteristics of line- and self-commutated power converter circuits.
Power Electronics usally is defined as "control and conversion of electrical energy by application of electronic switches". Consequently, power electronics serves as a basis for modern electrical drives, for power supplies and for many other industrial applications and, therefore, is defined as a substantial part of Industrial Electronics by leading companies of the electric industry. The lecture covers the most important components, power and control circuits as well as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Registration/Lecture Notes for winter semester 2019/20
No registration is required for this course.
You may order lecture notes (german language) by sending an email to skriptum.372033@gmx.at as soon as possible, not later than Oct. 2nd, 2019.
This email should be formed exclusively by a single subject line like following
"LE, family name, given name, 1-seitig" (= lecture notes, sigle sided copyt) or
"LE, family name, given name, 2-seitig" (= lecture notes, double sided copyt) (as you prefer)
actual version: Ed. WS12/13, appr. 140 pages, EUR 10,-
(= Ed. WS09/10 + some minor extensions)
The lecture notes are sold at the beginning of the first course on Oct. 4th, 2019.
The lecture notes are pure "working notes" containing circuit and signal drawings and buzz words and phrases but not conjunctive text. Consequently, the lecture notes are not suited for pure self-study purposes (please use the well known power electronic text books for this case).
Lecture notes for this course are available from the lecturer only.
