ENEE 719B: Advanced Power ElectronicsWhen: Tuesday/Thursday, 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.Credits: 3Location: EGR 0309

There is a growing demand for power electronic switching circuits in a broad variety of application. Low-power applications include: personal computers; laptops; digital cameras; cell phones; home appliances. The medium-power category consists of: telecommunication systems; switching power supplies; land, sea and air electronic transportation. Finally in the high-power subset are high-power active filters;  renewable (solar, wind, and ocean) energy systems; and flexible AC transmission systems for terrestrial power systems. In fact, power electronics provides the basis for a variety of new electrical circuit architectures that allow substantial improvements in performance and flexibility. The purpose of this course is to present the advanced topics in power electronics.
