Content(s)
Electrical power converion is mainly done power electronics converters. In a first time, the objective is to understand the basics of the conversion based on the switching principle.
Components based on semiconductor devices (Si) are described and studies : diode, IGBT, MOSFET.
Passive components are also presented : capacitor, inductance, transformer. Physical description, modelling, technological issues and limitations.
DC-DC, AC-AC, DC-AC, AC-DC families are presented first and after the focus is done on the DC-DC family.
The dynamic modelling approach is given towards the average modelling principle : the general approach is then applied to simple examples.
