Power electronics is the enabling infrastructuretechnology that promotes the conversion of electrical powerfrom its raw form to the form needed by machines, motors, and electronic equipment. At the ShanghaiTech University, the Advanced Electric Power Conversion Laboratory (AEPCL) is devoted to the process, distribution, and control of electric energy. Currently, we have particular interest in wireless power transfer,ultra-high-frequency power conversion, applications of wide-band-gap devices,magnetic integration, modeling and control of resonant convertors, ubiquitous powerIoT, AI and big data based intelligent power network.
EE171： Power Electronics
Course level: Undergraduate Course credit: 4 credits Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Electric Circuits
Course introduction: The increasing focus on electrification for a cleaner environment has fueled the need for electric power in different forms. Power electronics is the branch of electrical engineering that deals with the processing of high voltages and currents to deliver power that supports a variety of needs. From household electronics to equipment in space applications, these areas all need stable and reliable electric power with the desired specifications. Power supply in one form is processed using power semiconductor switches and control mechanisms to another form, supplying a regulated and controlled power. While switched-mode power supplies are a common application of power electronics where power density, reliability, and efficiency are of prime importance, motor control is gearing up with more electrification in transportation systems. Precise control and efficiency are key characteristics for power control applications. The study of power electronics is thus multidisciplinary, involving semiconductor physics, electrical motors, mechanical actuators, electromagnetic devices, control systems, and so on. This course mainly focuses on the basic application of power electronics, the characteristics of basic power semiconductor devices, and the power conversion circuits in different application scenarios.
EE273: Advanced Power Conversion Techniques
Course level: Graduate Course credit: 4 credits Prerequisite: Power Electronics
Course introduction: Power electronics is an enabling technique that focuses on converting the form of electric power to meet various loading demands. Such converters are widely used in industrial automation, consumer electronics, rail traffic, aerospace, power systems, data centers, communication networks, and the Internet of Things. These practical scenarios would have distinct requirements in the power level, voltage and current, efficiency, reliability, and dynamic response. Based on the fundamental principles of power electronics, a professional researcher is expected to understand and utilize various advanced power conversion technology, fully take the advantages of different power semiconductor devices, carry out multi-objective design, explore the design trade off, and develop the most competitive power solution. This course will focus on resonant power conversion technology. It includes series resonant converter, parallel resonant converter, LLC resonant converter, ZVS quasi-resonant converter, ZCS quasi-resonant converter, multi-resonant converter, soft switching of PWM converter, high-order resonant converter in wireless power transfer systems, and ultra-high frequency resonant converter, etc. As a research-oriented course, its content will be continuously updated to keep up with the state-of the-art of the power electronics.
