Industrial electronics I
Summary
The course deals with the control of grid connected power electronic converters for renewable applications, covering: converter topologies, pulse width modulation, modelling, control algorithms and controllers (PID and PR), coordinate frame transformations, grid monitoring and synchronisation (PLL).
Content
Introduction
Power electronic technologies for renewable energy generation, with emphassis on the photovoltaic applications.
Power electronic converters
Requirements, topologies, operating principles, pulse width modulation methods, space vectors, modeling and control.
Grid monitoring and synchronization
Single-phase and three-phase applications, phase locked loops, grid filters, power quality, balanced and unbalanced grid conditions.
Control synthesis
Continuous and discrete time systems, sampling, discretization, cascaded control loops, PID and PR regulators, coordinate frame transformations, tuning, passive and active damping.
Keywords
Modeling, Control, Power Electronic Converters, Power Systems

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Select appropriately power electronic converters for given application
- Derive mathematical models
- Synthesize control structures for different applications
- Prove stability and dynamic performances
Transversal skills
- Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
Teaching methods
Slides, Blackboard, PLECS examples, Exercises based on the modeling and simulations using PLECS, Reporting
Expected student activities
Attendance of lectures; Completing exercises; Writing reports based on the exercises, Proactivness
Assessment methods
Student are expected to write 4 short reports, during a semester, related to their laboratory exercises. These reports will be graded and contribute to 40% of the final grade.
Oral exam at the end of the course is the open book exam (20 minutes preparation + 20 minutes examination). It contributes with 60% to the final grade.
