Building on the module ‘Fundamentals of Power Electronics’, the module Power Electronics deals with the typical circuit topologies used in today's applications such as
electric vehicles, solar inverters, drive converters, switching power supplies, etc. In addition to the analysis of the steady state, this module also covers dynamic behaviour and typical modulation and control approaches. Furthermore, the modelling of losses and construction volume is addressed. Students who have successfully completed the Power Electronics module will be able to analyse, design and measure power electronic circuits in theory and practice.

1. Analysis of current circuit topologies, stationary and dynamic
2. Modulation and control methods for power electronic circuits
3. Loss modelling of power electronic components
4. Experimental testing in the laboratory

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

Students who have successfully completed this module will be familiar with the structure and function of converters, their components and associated control methods.

Students who have successfully completed this module will be able to derive and describe not only steady-state behaviour but also behaviour relating to harmonics, and will be able to transfer and apply the knowledge they have acquired to other circuits.

Upon completion of the module, students will be able to select power electronic circuits for a specific application and evaluate and optimise their harmonic behaviour.

Students who have successfully completed this course will be familiar with power electronic systems throughout the entire chain, from the electrical grid to the converter to the load; will be able to assess the properties of individual components in terms of their significance for the system as a whole; and will be able to abstract from the details to the essentials in order to analytically understand and optimise the interaction of various system components.

Upon completion of the module, students will be able to analyse, solve and document a problem in a team, present the results and discuss them with others.
