Description ​

  • The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to power electronics. The principles of static converter structures are covered: uncontrolled and controlled rectification, choppers and inverters. The course is taught using the LTSpice simulation tool.

At the end of this course, students will have knowledge of :

  • power electronic components: power diodes, thyristors and power transistors.
  • analysis of static converter operation.
  • the dimensioning of power components in compliance with electrical constraints.
  1. Handling of a motorisation specification for a mobile robot
  2. Choice of motor
  3. Gearbox and converter

Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv) ​

  • AAv1 [heures:10,B1, B3] : At the end of semester S6, the student will be able to determine the instantaneous power, average power consumed and energy stored in a given linear circuit (or described by a statement) including resistive, capacitive and inductive effects.

  • AAv2 [heures:15, B1, B3] : At the end of semester S6, the student will be able, in a controlled or uncontrolled rectifier circuit: - to determine the waveforms of the electrical quantities voltage/current and power from a given diagram*. - identify the electrical stresses of the diode (or thyristor) in order to size it.

  • AAv3 [heures:15, B1,B3] : At the end of semester S6, the student will be able, in a chopper, step-down or step-up circuit, to determine the waveforms of the voltage/current and power electrical quantities from a given diagram*. - identify the electrical constraints of the transistor and diode in order to size them.
