Power Conversion for Electronic Devices

Power electronics enable modern electrified technologies, from electric vehicles to renewable energy systems. In this course, you’ll learn how engineers design and model power converters to efficiently transfer and control electrical energy in real-world systems. Through guided exercises and practical examples, you’ll build and analyze models of common power converters, evaluate their performance, and explore how design decisions affect system behavior across different operating conditions. You’ll also examine key aspects of power converter operation, including how electrical signals are switched and regulated to achieve desired performance. These concepts help engineers design systems that meet efficiency and reliability requirements. You’ll receive a free Simulink and Simscape license to develop system-level models, run simulations, and compare different converter architectures before hardware is built. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to model, simulate, and analyze power converters and understand how they are used in modern electronic and electrified systems. These skills will help you contribute to the design and optimization of power electronics systems across a wide range of applications.
