EE 420 - Green Energy Power Conditioning


Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
Credit Hours: 3

Basic theory and operation of power conditioning required for green energy such as Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) and wind power are covered. Specifically DC-to-DC converters such as buck, boost, buckboost, and four quadrant power conditioning are investigated. AC-to-DC power conditioning techniques are also covered along with DC-to-AC inverters. Analysis and design of power conditioning systems required for green energy applications which employ some combination of DC-to-DC, AC-to-DC, and DC-to-AC power conditioning is stressed. Prerequisite(s): EE 255 .
