Power Electronics: Devices, Control Applications, Maintenance and Testing Course
Introduction:
Power Electronics is a technology that serves as a crucial link between the two main divisions of Electrical Engineering: Electric Power and Electronics. In recent years, it has experienced significant advancements, primarily due to the development of semiconductor power devices capable of efficiently switching large currents at high voltages and frequencies.
Power Electronics techniques are progressively replacing traditional methods of power conversion and control, leading to a technological revolution in various areas of power applications. This includes regulated power supplies and UPS systems, DC and AC motor drives, high voltage DC transmission, and more.
However, it is important to address the challenges associated with power electronics, particularly the generation of harmonics. In a world where "Power Quality" has become an environmental concern, the issue of harmonics needs to be effectively managed. By addressing power quality concerns, the full potential of power electronics can be harnessed while ensuring environmentally friendly and reliable power systems.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to introduce the subject of Power Electronics with a concentration on the:
- Latest advances developments and availability of power semiconductor switches. Proper selection of the type and ratings of the power switch to match the requirements of a certain application will also be investigated.
- Basic merits of Power Electronics converters over the conventional counterparts. Drawbacks of Power Electronics, which are, mainly, the reduction of the input power factor and the generation of considerable load and line harmonics, will also be highlighted.
- Rectification, Chopping, and Inversion processes required for DC and AC power conditioning. This will include power circuits, control topologies, conduction patterns, analysis, and evaluation of the performance parameters of the corresponding controllers.
Who Should Attend?
This course is strongly recommended for Electrical, Electromechanical, and Industrial Engineers and Technicians, who involved in any AC or DC power conditioning system including, but not limited to, power utilities, VVVF speed control of electric motors, and UPS system.
Course Outlines:
- Teaches how to operate, adjust, and troubleshoot electronic components, circuits, and systems used in machine applications.
- Convenient, portable trainer allows for on-the-go exploration of the fundamental concepts of industrial power and control electronics, such as measuring temperature, speed, and analog signals.
- Exclusive Fault Pro troubleshooting software includes 30 unique faults that present realistic situations that technicians encounter on the job, such as troubleshooting power supply, an open-loop operational amplifier circuit, a pressure sensing device, and more.
