Description and contextualization of the subject

Couse Objective:

To be able to understand, simulate and analyze different power electronic converters for Renewable Energy Systems Grid Integration

Course Outcomes:

1.To have a good understanding of the basic principles of power conversion

2.To understand the operating principles and models of different types of power electronic converters including dc-dc converters, PWM rectifiers and inverters

3.To be able to choose appropriate power converter topologies and design the power stage and feedback controllers for various applications

4.To be able to use power electronic simulation packages from Matlab/Simulink for analyzing and designing power converters for RES integration into the grid



In the event that the sanitary conditions prevent the realization of a teaching activity and / or face-to-face evaluation, a non-face-to-face modality will be activated of which the students will be informed promptly
