About Project-oriented analysis techniques course
This course may also be credited toward ECEA 5706 in the CU Boulder Electrical Engineering Master of Science program. It is Course #2 in the Power Electronics Modeling and Control sequence. This course focuses on design-based analysis techniques that will enable you to quickly gain insight into switching power converter models and translate that insight into practical converter designs. Design-based analysis techniques such as the complementary element theorem and the N complementary element theorem (N-EET) are discussed. Practical examples show how EET can be used to simplify circuit analysis, to study the effects of initially unmodeled components, and to design the damping of converters such as SEPIC and Cuk to achieve high-performance closed-loop control. N-EET will enable you to perform circuit analysis and derive circuit responses with minimal algebra. Modeling and design examples are supported by design-oriented MATLAB scripts and Spice simulations. Upon completion of this course, the student will acquire analytical skills applicable to the design of high performance closed-loop switching power converters.
We strongly recommend that students complete the CU Boulder Power Electronics Specialization as well as Course #1, Modeling and Simulation of Averaged Switches, before enrolling in this course (the course numbers below are for CU Boulder MS-EE students): ● Introduction to Power Electronics (ECEA 5700) ● Converter Circuits (ECEA 5701) ● Converter Control (ECEA 5702) ● Modeling and Simulation of Averaged Switches (ECEA 5705) After completing this course, you will be able to: ● Understand the formulation and derivation of the complementary element theorem ● Apply the complementary element theorem to analyze and solve converter design problems ● Understand the formulation of the N complementary element theorem ● Apply the N complementary element theorem to analyze and solve converter design problems ● Apply computationally-based analysis for analysis, design and simulation of pulse converters
