Power Electronics, A First Course: Simulations and Laboratory Implementations

Simulations Slides Solutions

Power Electronics A First Course provides instruction on fundamental concepts related to power electronics to undergraduate electrical engineering students, beginning with an introductory chapter and moving on to discussing topics such as switching power-poles, switch-mode dc-dc converters, and feedback controllers.

Introduction to Electric Machines

30 modules Lab Video

A comprehensive introduction to electric drives, covering the design, operation, and control of: DC motors, Induction motors, and Synchronous motors. Topics include motor characteristics, speed control techniques, torque production, power electronics interfaces, and practical applications. Ideal for undergraduate students in electrical engineering, this course builds a strong foundation for understanding motor-driven systems used in industrial, automotive, and renewable energy applications.

Vector Control of Drives

7 experiments Hardware

This lab provides hands-on experience in the modeling, control, and real-time implementation of AC motor drive systems. Students will identify machine parameters, build abc→dq models, design and tune V/f, vector (FOC), and DTC controllers, implement SVPWM on a three-phase inverter, and validate performance on hardware using safe measurement practices.

Electric Machines and Drives

8 experiments Hardware

This lab provides hands-on experience in the modeling, control, and real-time implementation of electric motor drive systems. Students will characterize DC and AC machines, design closed-loop PI and V/f controllers, and analyze power electronics (DC-DC converters) critical for drive operation.

Switch-mode Power Electronics

13 experiments Hardware

This hands-on lab introduces core DC-DC converter topologies—buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, forward, and full-bridge—on a GaN/Si power electronics platform.
