Learn everything about power electronics for electrical engineering as rectifiers, AC and DC choppers and inverters.

Power electronics became an identifiably separate area of electrical engineering with the invention of the thyristor about 30 years ago. The growing demand for controllability and conversion of electric energy has made this area increasingly important, which in turn has resulted in new device, circuit and control developments. In particular, new components, such as the GTO and power MOSFET, continue to extend power electronic technology to new applications. The technology embodied by the name "power electronics" is complex. It consists of both power level and signal level electronics, as well as thermal, mechanical, control, and protection systems.

Design and analyze electronic components and systems with the help of powerful software and effective skillsets. Balancing theory with practical exploration of the relevant software, you'll start solving power electronics problems like a pro. Using MATLAB®/Simulink®, you'll analyze the circuit in a laptop charger; interface with the power electronics converter controlling a washing machine's motor; turn on lamps with an electronic ballast; convert AC into DC power; and more!
Power electronics are at the bedrock of all the wonderful devices simplifying our daily life. Designing them isn't just about understanding schematics. It also requires measuring twice and cutting once. In order to save time and money, a power electronics circuit must be simulated before construction. So you'll learn how to work with one of the most powerful simulation tools for this purpose. That way you'll know before you even go to make it whether the circuit works as expected.
