Online course 2 (MOOC)

Line commutated and PWM rectifiers

Free online course available in NPTEL in YouTube.

1

Course content

The course covers different types of PWM converters used for charging EV, or integrating PV systems or for data center power supply applications. We cover large number of converters like diode/thyristor bridges, conventional VSC, PFC boost, AC-DC flyback, Vienna rectifer, NPC etc. Controller design using Bode plots is extensively covered. We also cover practical design example. Step-by step simulation using MATLAB is shown during the course.

IEEE- IAS Short tutorial

Online tutorial available in IEEE-IAS website.

Course content

3-phase grid connected Voltage Source Converters (VSC) play an important role in integrating renewable energy, storage or acting as a front-end converter for motor drive applications. Designing of closed loop controllers for VSC are necessary for proper coordination and smooth exchange of active and reactive power with the grid. In this tutorial, step-by-step design of the controller will be undertaken taking help of small signal model of the converter. Controller tuning will be realized by analyzing Bode plots of transfer function. One design example supported by simulation will be shown for better understanding and helping the audience to develop the VSC model and the controller on their own.
