Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: Bu kursun başlıca uygulamaları arasında yüksek güçlü endüstriyel sürücüler, imalat, denizcilik, güneş enerjisi üretimi ve diğer büyük ölçekli endüstriyel uygulamalar yer alır. Çeşitli çok seviyeli evirici devre topolojileri ve optimal düşük anahtarlamalı frekans modülasyon teknikleri üzerine bir çalışma, dersler aracılığıyla yapılacaktır. Topolojilerin ve modülasyonların avantajları, dezavantajları, uygulamaları ve karşılaştırması incelenecektir. Ayrıntılı notlar ve çalışma materyali sağlanacaktır. Eve götürme egzersizleri ve öğleden sonra eğitimleri için ödevler verilecektir. Simülasyon ve matematiksel hesaplamalar kullanarak bunları çözmek için sayısal problemler geliştirilecektir. Böyle bir alıştırma, anlayışı geliştirecek ve bilgiyi değerlendirmeye yardımcı olacaktır.
Course Content: Endüstride HVDC, FACTS, Motor Sürücüleri, Güç kalitesi iyileştirme uygulamaları için kullanılan farklı yüksek güç dönüştürücü türleri derste anlatılmaktadır. NPC gibi geleneksel dönüştürücüler ve modüler çok seviyeli dönüştürücüler gibi gelişmekte olan dönüştürücüler ele alınmaktadır. Bu orta/yüksek gerilimli yüksek güç dönüştürücüler için operasyonel konular ve tasarım konuları ele alınacaktır. Bu dönüştürücülerin tasarımı ve çalıştırılması sırasında endüstride karşılaşılan birçok pratik konu tartışılacaktır.
