ECE 315 Power Systems and Electronics

Fall

This course provides students with the opportunity to further develop the essential skills needed in electrical engineering, especially in power systems and power electronics. Students will study three-phase ac circuits, synchronous generators, transformers in power systems, and energy conversion techniques such as DC/DC converters, AC/DC rectifiers, and DC/AC inverters. Students will examine Power systems and electronics applications in motor drives, uninterrupted power supplies, high-efficiency energy conversion, process control and automation, vehicular power systems, and renewable energy systems. Students will use software and hardware in the lab to design and analyze power systems and power electronics circuits in real time. Prerequisite: 2.0 or higher in ECE 310.
