Theoretical Part
Lecture Time:
Monday: 9:40-11:20
Wednesday: 9:40-11:20
Course Objectives:
This course is primary designed for undergraduate student, with a strong background on electrical engi-
neering and mathematics. The theoretical part of this course provides to the student a general background
about important aspects of power electronics. This is an introduction course which presents the student an
overview of all important aspects regarding power electronics topologies, dierent type of converters and
modulation techniques. After the student has approved this course, the following specic goals are expected
to be acquired:
- The student must be able to understand and recognize the operation of dierent semiconductors used
in the industry nowadays.
- The student must be able to recognize and understand the operation of converter topologies such as
rectiers, inverters and DC/DC converters.
- The student must be able to understand modulation techniques applied to inverters such as PWM
and SVM techniques.
Prerequisites:
Prerequisites of this course are dened by the Electrical Department of the Universidad e Santiago de Chile.
Nevertheless, it is important the student has an undergraduate-level understanding of the following topics:
Laplace and Fourier Transform, Bode Analysis and C programming.
Office Hours:
By appointment and after asking exercise assistants.
