Internship on Power Electronics using Matlab

About the Program

All the electrical &electronic loads (such as lighting, motors, electrical heaters, laptops, mobiles etc.) that you see in the modern world have different specifications such as operating voltage, current, frequency, power factor etc, thus might not be compatible with a single type of supply we have (single phase AC 220v).Thus by deploying suitable power electronic devices, we can make our loads run on any type of supply.

Not just that, we all know that AC supply can be easily stepped up/down using a simple transformer. Whereas you cant do the same thing in the case of dc supplies. But, by using power electronic devices it can be made possible. Thus transmission of power from a generating station to a receiving point can be made very efficient by stepping up DC using “CHOPPERS”( a power electronic device)

Though the PE devices are very complex and may require lot of coding to control the device, in modern times we are absolutely helpless without it. We will develop design of simple model these power electronic devices using Matlab/simulink.

LEARNING PATH

POWER CONVERTERS TOPOLOGIES

The large number of automobiles in use around the world has caused and continues to cause serious problems of environment and human life. Air pollution, global warming, and the rapid depletion of the earth’s petroleum resources are now serious problems. Electric Vehicles (EVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) have been typically proposed to replace conventional vehicles in the near future. Energy storage or supply devices vary their output voltage with load or state of charge and the high voltage of the DC-link create major challenges for vehicle designers when integrating energy storage / supply devices with a traction drive. DC-DC converters can be used to interface the elements in the electric power train by boosting or chopping the voltage levels. Due to the automotive constraints, the power converter structure has to be reliable, lightweight, small volume, with high efficiency, low electromagnetic interference and low current/voltage ripple.

 Training Methodology

The Program is mix of Theory sessions, Quizzes, Hands on Sessions, Liver Interaction with Experts, Assignments and Practical Exercises. Maximum Impetus is given to Hands on Sessions so as to enable the participants with the maximum knowledge transfer and satisfaction. The ratio of the theory, practical sessions will be 30:70.

Program Advantage

·         Code with Explanations

Learn everything about power electronic basics, with a well-structured curriculum & detailed explanations with code.

·         Assignments

Work on various assignments which will be graded by our Trainer.

·         Projects

Solve real world problems as part of projects and receive valuable feedback from our trainer.

Upon Successful Completion of the Program

Upon completion of the program, the participant will have an in-depth insight into the MATLAB/Simulink s. The participants will be able to program the controller and develop basic / complex applications on his own, thus making the objective of the training program as desired. Participants also will have access to our TECHNICAL FORUM, thus getting their doubts clarified even after the session is complete.  Certificates will be provided upon request.
