Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Students will obtain useful skills to understand the Industrial Power Electronics basic principles. They will learn the functioning of power electronics converters, and also the power electronic devices. Students will also know how to specify the converters for different application types. Students will also acquire competences that will allow them to pursuit and increase their studies and knowledge.

Current Inverters

7. Regulation and Command of Power Converters
P;PI;PID Controllers. Regulation Circuits.
PWM Command. Tiristors, Transistors and IGBT's Command Circuits.

Teaching Methods

Teaching is based on theoretical classes and practical laboratory classes
Theoretical classes serve to present theory and solve problems that help to consolidate the concepts presented.
Practical-laboratory classes serve to develop laboratory and project work.
The learning system is intended to be active, aiming to encourage students to do their own research on the subjects presented in classes.
Questions time available twice a week, in the teacher's office. Use of email to answer basic questions or to schedule another follow-up time convenient for each student.

Assessment

The grades are within the interval [0,20].
The assessment method consists of three components :

[P1] Project to be assessed in (15%).
[TP1, [TP2, ,[TP3, TP4] Laboratory works - (25%)
[T1] Test 1 (30%).
[T2] Test 2 (30%).
[Ex] Examination (60%)

The student can choose 1 of 2 possible regimes, in which the Final Grade [NF] is calculated as
follows:

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
[NF] Final Grade: NF = P×0.15+((TP1 + TP2 + TP3 +TP4)/4)×0.25 +T1x0,30 +T2x0.30
If NF>9.5 ^ P>= 9.5 ^ TPi>= 8.5 ^ T1>= 9.0 ^ T2>= 9.0 Approved

FINAL ASSESSMENT
[NF] Final Grade: NF = P×0.15+ ((TP1 + TP2 + TP3 +TP4)/4)×0.25 +Ex0,60
If NF> 9.5 ^ P>= 9.5 ^ TPi>= 8.5 ^ Ex>= 9.5 Approved
