Lecture 1: Introduction to Power Electronics
The primary function of power electronic circuits is the processing and control of electrical energy. This class discusses the history, evolution, needs, and goals of power electronics.
This introductory MIT lecture on power electronics explores the history and evolution of the field. The course covers circuit theory and design techniques, including practical applications across various power levels. Expect discussions of energy conversion, control systems, and component analysis.
Lecture 2: Analysis Methods and Rectifiers
In this lecture, we first review linear vs. switching regulators. We then introduce definitions and methods for analyzing switching circuits, including the Method of Assumed States and Periodic Steady State.
This MIT lecture analyzes switching circuits, contrasting them with linear regulators. The instructor introduces the Method of Assumed States and Periodic Steady State analysis techniques. These methods are applied to various circuit examples, including rectifiers.
Lecture 3: Load Regulation
In this lecture, we discuss rectifiers and their DC-side characteristics. As part of this we consider how load regulation in rectifiers is introduced by the effect of AC-side commutating reactance.
This lecture explores load regulation in rectifiers. The instructor analyzes a rectifier circuit, incorporating AC-side commutating reactance. Mathematical models illustrate how this affects output voltage.
Lecture 4: Power Factor
This lecture considers power factors and measures of distortion in AC systems.
Lecture 5: Intro to DC/DC, Part 1
This class introduces DC-DC power conversion, including methods for analyzing DC-DC converters in periodic steady state. Buck and boost converters are introduced as examples.
This MIT lecture introduces DC/DC power conversion analysis. The instructor uses Kirchhoff's laws and examples of buck and boost converters to illustrate periodic steady-state analysis techniques. Learn how average KVL and KCL apply to these circuits.
