ECET 6403:Applications of Power Electronics in Electric Drive Systems

3 Class Hours 3 Laboratory Hours 4 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Undergraduate machinery course equivalent to ECET 3500
This course combines electric machinery, control and power electronics. The first part of the course is devoted entirely to Power Electronics. The second part is devoted to the application of power electronics in the speed control of electric machinery. Both dc and ac motor drive systems are covered. MATLAB and Spice will be extensively used for computation and verification purposes. Practical and hands-on experience will be gained using practical electric drive systems in the second part of the course.
