Learning outcomes
Know and understand the methods of analysis and design of electronic devices of interest for industrial applications, with an emphasis on the principles of operation of power semiconductor devices, power electronic systems and power circuits for the energy conversion.

Program
- Introduction to industrial electronics and power electronic systems. - Electrical and magnetic circuits: basic concepts. - Power semiconductor devices. - Power switches. - AC-DC converters: - Line-frequency uncontrolled diode rectifiers. - Line-frequency phase-controlled rectifiers. - Switch-mode DC-DC converters. - Switch-mode DC-AC converters (inverters). - AC-AC converters. - Resonant converters. - Industrial applications. - DC and AC drives: basics.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The student learning evaluation is based on an oral test consisting in the discussion of one or more topics covered in the course. When necessary, the questions, whose answers also require short calculations or simple circuit drawings, will be carried out in writing during the oral test.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The student, during the oral test, must show he has the skills necessary for analysing and designing electronic circuits relevant for industrial applications. In particular, he has to demonstrate to know the operating principles of power semiconductor devices, power supply electronic systems, and power circuits for the static electricity conversion.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Attribution of the final mark on a 30-point scale.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
In order to pass the exam with the minimum mark, a student must demonstrate a sufficiently complete knowledge of the course contents. The maximum mark is achieved by demonstrating, through the answers to the questions, a complete and thorough knowledge of the course contents. The cum laude will be awarded to the students who, achieving the highest mark, have also demonstrated particular mastery of the subject matter of the course.
