Introduction to the fundamental operating principles of power conditioning circuits that are currently being used to effect power flow from AC to DC and vice versa. Emphasis is on the relationship between form and function of these circuits. Circuits discussed will include AC/DC line-commutated converters, DC/DC converters, DC/variable frequency converters, resonant converters, and AC/AC converters. Computer simulations will be used as a part of the coursework.
Learning Outcomes1Apply knowledge obtained in earlier coursework and to obtain new knowledge necessary to design and test a microcontroller-based digital system.
2Understand the engineering design process.
3Function on a multidisciplinary team.
4Be aware of professional and ethical responsibility.
5Communicate effectively, in both oral and written form.
