Power electronics I ERASMUS>ELE06

The course provides structured knowledge of fundamental semiconductor power devices and power-electronic converters. Students learn to analyse converter operation under steady-state conditions, determine key characteristics and parameters, and understand the underlying principles that govern modern power-electronics topologies. The curriculum balances theory with problem-solving sessions, enabling participants to calculate essential quantities of rectifiers, AC voltage controllers, DC-DC converters and transistor inverters, while highlighting current development trends in the field.

Intended learning outcomes:
- Student possesses ordered knowledge of the structure and operating principles of power-electronic components and circuits.
- Student knows and understands the topology and properties of power-electronic systems and recognises development trends in power electronics.
- Student has knowledge of methods for calculating the basic quantities of selected power-electronic converters.
- Student is able to determine the fundamental quantities of power-electronic systems.
