Recent Trends in Power Electronics, Machine Drives and
Power Systems |
19th January to 1st February 2009 |
|
|
|
 |
With fast developments in semiconductor technology, high performance power electronic devices and signal processors are getting commercialized regularly. Consequently power electronics, machine drives and power system technology is advancing very fast. So there is necessity of updating the knowledge with state-of-the-art developments in these fields. This training program will help the participants to update their knowledge, and to target research problems in power electronics, machine drives and power systems. Participants will be given adequate exposure to modern equipments of power electronics laboratory and different simulation software like PSIM, and MATLAB/SIMULINK. |
|
This
short term course aims at finding answers to these questions
and providing an exposure in the emerging field of digital
signal processing and communication technologies.
|
| |
| COURSE CONTENTS |
Introduction to power semiconductor devices and converters, PWM converters, different PWM techniques: space vector PWM, sinusoidal PWM with instantaneous current control, hysteresis band current control, sigma delta modulation; three level and multi level converters, soft switched converters. |
|
