Transportation Electrification: Introduction to Power Electronics in Electric Drive Trains
The second module in this series on electric drive trains introduces the student to the power electronics. Emphasis is placed on the topologies of rectifiers, DC-DC converters and inverters used in electric drive trains. Input-output relationships are provided for most of the circuit topologies.
What you will learn:
- Describe the uses of power electronic circuit
- Describe the fundamental types of power electronic circuit
- Describe the topologies of rectifiers and DC-DC converters
- Explain how inverters work
