Power Electronics in Energetics Systems

The subject is divided into three main blocks:

Block 1: Power Electronics applied to electrical energy production and management.
- Power supply systems in transportation. Railway, electric cars, aerospace.
- Power converters in renewable energy systems: Photovoltaics, wind power, wave energy.
- Uninterrupted Power Supplies.
- Energy recuperation systems.

Block 2: Components and topologies
- Review of basic electrical concepts and commonly used mathematical tools.
- DC-DC converters.
- Rectifiers (AC-DC).
- Inverters (DC-AC).
- Advanced topologies applied to energy conversion: multilevel converters and modular converters.
- Power losses and heat-sinks.
- Electrical protections.

Block 3: Control techniques in power converters.
- Dynamic modeling fundamental.
- Control loop design.
- Control of a grid-tied three-phase inverter.
