Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is based on knowledge achieved in the modules Introduction to electrical engineering and AC circuit theory or similar.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about theories applied to gain an efficient energy conversion using power electronic systems and apparatus
• Have knowledge about function and operation of power electronic components
• Have knowledge about and understanding of how power electronic systems, appliances and components are modelled
• Have knowledge about digital modelling tools

Skills

• Be able to apply knowledge about energy efficient power electronic systems, apparatus and their components for simulation via digital tools
• Be able to evaluate the result of the modelling and to which extent it is representative for the physical world
• Be able to relate to digital models at different levels of abstraction and their applications

Competences

• Be able to apply academic knowledge and skills in the digital analysis of efficient power electronic systems, apparatus and their components to a practical problem and to process such a problem
• Be able to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation within power electronic systems

Type of instruction

The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on the following types of instruction that combine skills and re-flection:

• lectures
• class teaching
• project work
• workshops
• exercises (individually and in groups)
• teacher feedback
• professional reflection
• portfolio work
• laboratory work
• possibly E-learning via digital platforms

Extent and expected workload
