Use of simulation and power electronics hardware trainer for teaching an introductory undergraduate power electronics course
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: An introductory power electronics undergraduate level course at Purdue University Fort Wayne has been upgraded, incorporating theoretical and simulation analyses for comparison to actual measured values obtained from a Lucas Nuelle Power Electronics and Drives 300 W training system.Lecture and laboratory content have been revised to more fully integrate lectures with laboratory assignments.Close agreement between theoretical and simulation values and the measured values obtained in laboratory provide a strong argument that for educational institutions where the cost of such equipment is prohibitive, the combination of theory and simulation yield a very effective alternative.In this work, the specifics of this course are explained in detail.
