Power electronics is a key enabling technology in essentially all electronic systems and is increasingly important in the grid interface of renewable energy sources and in efficient electrical loads.

The power supply must adhere to several key specifications when employed in industrial and medical environments. Single-stage converters do not meet most of these requirements, which also fall short ...

Figure 1: In a step-up converter, all you have to do to change the output voltage is change the duty cycle of the switching signal. Interestingly, the circuit raises the voltage by changing the duty ...

Through flexible course options, students enrolled in the Power Electronics (PPE) subplan of our Professional Master's Program may pursue a 9-credit hour certificate or a 30-credit hour MS degree. The ...

For electrical engineer Mark Scott, the pathway to teaching began with a feeling, nothing logical, but a strong passion for sharing the practical potential of power electronics. This year’s Associated ...

FLINT, Michigan-- Kettering University will soon offer students a new hybrid vehicle power electronics laboratory and hybrid vehicle courses. It's how the university will spend $500,000 of a $2.5 ...

Sum: What events led you to America? RDM: I left England and Cambridge University came to the U.S. in 1952 for a graduate fellowships and assistantship at Stanford. That was in the very early days of ...

I am a proud member of a golden generation of the electrical engineering class of 1966 at Belgrade University, former Yugoslavia. More than 1,000 candidates took two grueling entrance exams competing ...

Scott pushes his students to build and compare their work with others to understand the impact of their design choices. In this case, students learned the smaller the circuit board, the more ...

The laboratory and equipment support power electronics measurement for multiple student and faculty research projects. It is now supporting Ph.D. work in neural networks for harmonic estimation and ...
