Description:
At present there is an important gap between modern control theory and its application to power electronic converters. The first step to overcome this problem is the derivation of suitable models for control design. Based on these models, the course introduces the fundamental tools for linear and non-linear control design. This framework is applied to several applications of power electronics, including the control design for unity-power-factor rectifiers, single-phase inverters and active power filters. Also the control of three-phase applications is analyzed and designed, taking the VSC converter as a basic power configuration. The main ideas of the course will be shown through simulation studies.

Important information concerning PhD courses

We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
