Power Electronics – from Fundamentals to Advanced Topics (2024)

Organizer: Professor Huai Wang hwa@energy.aau.dk

Lecturers: Professor Huai Wang, Assistant Professor Subham Sahoo, Postdoc Zhongting Tang, Assistant Professor Yi Zhang, Assistant Professor Ariya Sangwongwanich

ECTS: 4

Date/Time: December 10 - 13, 2024 from 08:30-16:30. 

Deadline: 19 November 2024

Place: AAU Energy, Aalborg, Pontoppidanstraede, Denmark

Max no. of participants: 40

Description: The course was initiated in 2020 aiming to lay a solid foundation in power electronics could be beneficial to them independent of which power electronic topics they are working on, which provides also a wider scope of power electronics besides their specific research topics. It will have in-depth introduction of circuit theories, modeling methods, and hands-on prototyping of power electronic converters. The emphasis is on those aspects that are generic and not limited to specific applications. Moreover, a design case study will be used during the entire course for illustrating how to implement a converter prototype step-by-step, from component sizing, circuit design, control, simulation, prototyping, and testing. PCB assemblies will be available for the participants to perform laboratory testing.

• Day 1: Power electronic circuit theories 
• Day 2: Power electronic modeling and control methods
• Day 3: Power electronic converter prototyping and testing 
• Day 4: Practical power electronic components 
  
  

Prerequisites: A basic understanding of power electronic components, topologies, and control methods are necessary, the participants are supposed to have already attended a master-level power electronic course or equivalent.

Price:  6000 DKK for PhD students outside of Denmark and 8000 DKK for the Industry excl. VAT.
A link for online payment by credit card for externals participants will be annonced after deadline for registration

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 3000 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 four 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.
