Abstract:<br />

The Electronic converters in electrical power systems course aims to acquaint the students with the theory and<br />

practice in power electronic converters and their control systems in different aspects of electrical power and<br />

electrical equipment. The course discusses the AC-AC, AC-DC converters and pulse width modulation (PWM),<br />

analyzes control systems and over-voltage and over-current protection of power electronic converters. Course<br />

prerequisites include: Higher mathematics, Theory of electrical engineering, Electronics, Electrical transport. The<br />

subject is a prerequisite for Reliability of electrical systems and the Final Year project.<br />

Course content:<br />

Energy indices for dependent converters. Steerable AC-DC converters as a source of supreme harmonics in a<br />

supply grid. Methods for improvement of energy indices of steerable AC-DC converters. Stabilized impulse supply<br />

sources. AC-DC converters with improvement characteristics. Application of electronic converters. Protections of<br />

electronic converters.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The course makes use of technical teaching aids such as projectors and other media as well as classical lecture<br />

forms. The course material is supported with appropriate illustrations. Students have to be prepared in advance for<br />

each exercise. The course finishes with an exam. The final mark depends on the work done throughout the whole<br />

semester.<br />
