Power Electronic Applications in Power

Systems - Web course
COURSE OUTLINE
Usual application areas of power electronics include power supplies and motor
drives. Availability of high power electronic switches has enabled deployment of
NPTEL
power electronics for improved operation of the ac transmission and distribution http://nptel.iitm.ac.in
networks.
This course primarily serves to highlight the requirements of modern

transmission and distribution systems and specific power electronic solutions to Electrical
realize them. Transmission system behaviour is analyzed in great detail in the
basic and advanced courses on power systems.
Engineering
This course begins with a recapitulation of the principal results of this analysis
as well as an introduction to the concept of power quality. The desirable features
of a compensator is mentioned to develop a designer's perspective. Pre-requisites:
Subsequently, the power electronic solutions are sequentially introduced in
increasing order of complexity and compensation capability. For each solution,
the circuit schematic and basic operation is detailed. 1. Power Electronics (Advanced).
2. Power Systems I.
The compensation capability and limitation are logically stated. Steady-state and
dynamic equations- wherever applicable- are included to provide a logical basis
for a designer to evaluate the performance of each such solution in the power Additional Reading:
