Course Name: Fundamentals of Power Electronics

Course abstract

The course introduces basics of power electronic devices and converters. Basic working principle, operating modes and analysis of DC-DC, DC-AC, AC-DC, and AC-AC converters would be covered. Control of power electronic converters is explained. Certain specialized concepts in power electronics like matrix converter, active rectifiers, space vector modulation would be included. Practical aspects of power electronic systems such as gate drives, snubbers and heat sinking would also be included. Finally, certain applications of power electronics to renewable energy conditioning and power quality would be discussed.

Prof. Vivek Agarwal

I received the B.Sc. degree (Hons.) in physics from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi University, Delhi, India, in 1985; the M.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, in 1990; and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada, in 1994. After a stint with Statpower Technologies, Burnaby, Canada, as a Research Engineer during 1994–1995, I joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology–Bombay, Mumbai, India, where I am currently a Professor. I mainly work in the field of power electronics with focus on power quality issues, renewable energy conditioning, and microgrids. I serve on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and IET proceedings on Renewable Power Generation.
