Modeling and Control of Power Electronics Specialization

This Specialization is intended for students and engineers seeking to advance skills in the analysis, modeling, and design of high-performance control loops around switched-mode dc-dc, ac-dc and dc-ac power converters. Through five courses, you will cover averaged-switch modeling and simulation techniques, techniques of design-oriented analysis, input filter design, peak and average current-mode control techniques, as well as modeling and control of single-phase power factor correction rectifiers, and inverters for photovoltaic power systems.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Master techniques of design-oriented analysis for switched-mode power converters.
- Verify the design of closed-loop regulated power converters using switching and averaged circuit simulations.
- Design high-performance peak current-mode control and average current-mode control loops.
- Design input filters for switched-mode power converters.
