A chapter is dedicated to the semiconductor world. It explains in video, how a transistor is made. Each power electronics transistor technology is explained, showing a cut of the components and the current flow. Bipolar, MOSFET or IGBT operations are clearly but simply explained.
The course also covers semiconductor packaging, as well as how components are mounted in a power stack or an inverter. The main conversion topologies are also explained: Buck, Boost, Half-bridge, Full-bridge and even NPC three-level converter topologies. Examples of real converters with pictures and schematics are added.
Last chapters explain the operation, requirements, and specificities of the main power electronics applications: rail traction, wind turbines, photovoltaic inverters, motor drives, home appliances and small chargers.
