This module aims at providing students with deep understanding of concepts and practices of research, different research approaches and designs, research methods and techniques, writing research proposal, data collection tools and methods, data management and analysis, academic writing, research reporting, and dissemination.
The major focus of this course is on design-oriented analysis of topologies and control methods for various power electronic converters used for dc-dc, dc-ac and ac-dc power conversions in important and current applications. PSpice and Matlab based simulations will be used extensively to reinforce the basic concepts, and as a design tool as well. Power semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs and IGBTs will be discussed briefly.
