1. Course Description:This course covers basic power electronic circuits which includes DC-DC converters,
Rectifiers and Inverters. Steady state analysis of these converters is discussed in details with emphasis on proper
selection of devices and magnetic components. Mathematical modeling of converter transfer function using various
approaches is also included for controller design of these converters. Experiments are designed to understand the
working of these power electronic circuits supported with MATLAB/SIMULINK based simulation platform.
