Power Electronics is a branch of electrical engineering and electronics that deals with the conversion, control, and conditioning of electric power using semiconductor devices. These devices operate in switching mode (rather than linear mode) to efficiently process high voltages and currents, ensuring minimal losses. Power electronics is crucial for various applications such as power supplies, electric motor control, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles.

The objectives of this course are to:

• Understand the basic principles of power electronics,
• Understand the operating principles and use of power components,
• Master the operation of major static converters,
• Acquire basic knowledge for making technical choices depending on the application domain of a power converter.
