EPE3161: Power Electronics

This module aims to equip the student with a basic understanding of modern power semiconductor devices. It is also intended for students who may want to work in environments where all aspects of the design, application and maintenance of power electronic converter circuits are envisaged. The course will familiarize students with the many diverse power semiconductor devices and their ancillary control circuits at both low and high power levels and prepare them with the requisite design and performance analysis skills for some of these circuits.
