ECTS: 4

Date/Time: November 19-22, 2024

Deadline: 29 October 2024

Place: AAU Energy, Pontoppidanstraede, Aalborg, Denmark

Max no. of participants: 40

Description: The course will be the latest research outcomes of the Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE). Since 2013, more than 250 participants from universities and companies have been trained in this 3-day course. By considering the feedbacks from participants and newly obtained research results from CORPE in the last few years, the 2023 version of the course will be 4 days focusing on failure mechanisms and degradation models of active power devices and capacitors, system-level reliability assessment and design tools, and reliability testing methods.

The course will have the following five main parts:

• Introduction to modern reliability and robustness approach
• Reliability testing methods and testing data analysis
• Long-term wear out and single-event abnormal operation of active power modules and capacitors
• Design tools and reliability analysis of power electronic systems
• Condition monitoring and operation optimization of power electronic components and converters
  
  

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of power electronics, power semiconductor devices, capacitors, and basic statistics.

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.
