Overview
This Modeling and Control of Power Electronics course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder 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.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will start with supplied Spice simulation examples to design and verify their own high-performance closed-loop controlled dc-dc converters, ac-dc power-factor correction rectifiers, and photovoltaic dc-ac inverters. The final course in the Specialization includes a peer-graded project where learners design and test control loops in a complete 5 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) power system including a maximum power point tracking boost converter and a single-phase grid-tied inverter.
What You Will Learn:
- Master techniques of design-oriented analysis for switched-mode power converters.
- Design high-performance peak current-mode control and average current-mode control loops.
- Design power-factor correction rectifiers
- Verify the design of closed-loop regulated power converters using switching and averaged circuit simulations.
- Design input filters for switched-mode power converters.
- Design dc-ac inverters for solar photovoltaic power systems
Skills You Will Learn:
- Modeling And Simulation
- Power Supplies
- Photovoltaic (PV) Systems
- Power Electronics
- Circuit Design
