Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is based on knowledge achieved in the project module Control systems or similar.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have insight of sampling mechanism and sampling theorem for an ADC implementation
• Be able to simulate the concerned digital control solution applied to a power electronic system in an efficient and reliable manner
• Be able to deal with real-time issues in a systematic manner when a digital controller is implemented for a power electronic system  
• Must have the knowledge of developing state-space model of power electronic systems and their controllers
• Be able to understand and create an business case for the automated power electronic device or system

Skills

• Be able to determine a correct sampling frequency based on the system frequency feature analysis
• Be able to analyse and develop controls for power electronic systems based on derived state-space models
• Be able to handle the real-time issues of digital implementation in a professional manner
• Be able to make a cost-benefit analysis of the automated power electronic system or apparatus

Competences

• Be able to analyse and design a controller in a professional way
• Be able to perform the real-time analysis and programming of the designed controller
• Be able to evaluate the basic economic conditions for the development and commissioning of systems or devices

Type of instruction

Problem based and project oriented work in project groups.

Some lectures are given in business economy to support the objectives in this area.

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 15 ECTS project module, the work load is expected to be 450 hours for the student.
