ENGR 5997G - Modeling and Control of Power Converters


This course covers the modeling and control techniques for switching power converters. Switching power converters are non-linear and time-varying systems. Small signal models and large signal models are needed to design an optimal closed loop system. Stability issues will be discussed for a power system composed of several non-linear power electronic circuits. Control methods play a very important role in achieving optimal dynamic performance. Different control techniques for switching power converters will be studied. In addition to the conventional analogue control method, (such as direct duty cycle control, peak current programmed control, average current mode control, etc.), digital control (such as fuzzy logic control, sliding mode like control, etc.) will also be analyzed. The course will also analyze digital control techniques for AC-to-DC power converters to achieve power factor correction. It is expected that each student will do a design project using one or more of the techniques covered in the course.
Credit hours: 3
