Fall 2026 Lecture Distance Learning
The objective of this course is to educate students in the operation, detailed modeling, average-value modeling, and control design of power electronics converters and systems of converters. Prerequisite by Topic: Basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations, solution of ODEs using numerical methods, state-space system representation, basic feedback control design with frequency domain methods, reference frame theory, some knowledge of rotating electric machinery. Permission of instructor required. Prerequisites: ECE 61010. Concurrent prerequisites: ECE 61000 and ECE 38200. Concurrent prerequisites by topic: synchronous machines (wound rotor and permanent magnet), reference frame theory, three-phase inverters, basic frequency domain control techniques, state-space representation of systems.
