ESPB		6.0	Status	mandatory
Condition		Passed exams in Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering 1 and 2. Attended classes in Elements of Electronics.
The goal		Introducing students to basic power converter topologies. Steady-state analysis and areas of their application. Comparative analyses of individual topologies from the point of view of the quality of electrical energy and the quality of load voltage. Introducing students to the principles of dimensioning semiconductor switching elements and reactive elements as components of power converters.
The outcome		Students should understand operating and design principles of basic power converter topologies. Based on the obtained knowledge, and for given operating conditions, students should be able to choose the appropriate topology and perform its basic design.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Concept and types of power converters. Overview of switching component types. Power calculation. Transient processes and steady states. Choppers: continuous and intermittent mode, losses. Thermal calculation and heat sink selection. Inverters: sine wave modulation, voltage and current spectrum, filtering, coupled and decoupled modulation. Grid-connected converters: phase regulators and rectifiers.
Contents of exercises		Analysis of the operation of phase regulators, choppers and inverters on dedicated laboratory setups. Analysis of chopper operation using a software tool for numerical analysis of electrical circuits.
