        The goal Introduction to topologies of power converters and their implementation in industrial environments (uninterruptible power supplies, regulated DC and AC drives, electrostatic precipitators , etc.). Study of topologies of power converters applied in energy conversion systems in the field of renewable energy sources.
        The outcome Students should understand principles of operation of the analyzed power converter configurations. Based on the obtained knowledge, and for given operating conditions, students should be able to choose the appropriate controller and power converter topology. Students will be introduced and trained to be able to independently design the main power circuits and control circuits of power converters.
