Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
Students learn the methodology and the use of design tools for developing and testing the main power electronic converters used in the automotive sector. Students learn the modelling techniques for FEM electromagnetic analysis of high frequency magnetic components and for modelling of mixed signal circuits. Students receive a complete technology review for power circuitry, passive components, active devices, cooling technologies, mixed signal circuits, sensors, control devices and control circuits. Students focus on the principle of operation and design of automotive related power converter topologies: PFC and Phase Shift Full Bridge for the On Board Charger (OBC), dual-level and multilevel three-phase inverter for the traction drive, flyback and LLC circuit for the on board auxiliary converters.
Contenuti
General introduction on power components and converters for high efficiency electrical energy conversion. Characterization and modeling of losses of power electronic devices. Thermal management. Main differences and applications of power electronic devices available on the market. Gate driver circuits. Technology review of passive component (capacitors and magnetics). PCB manufacturing, automated assembly and soldering of converters.
AC/DC conversion
Most common single phase and three phase Power Factor Corrector topologies, operating principle, loss calculation, DC-link design, input filter design, sensors, and control algorithms. Design validation through analytical and numerical approach.
DC/DC conversion
Most common non isolated and isolated topologies (Flyback, Push-Pull, Forward, Phase-Shifted Full Bridge, Resonant), operating principle, loss calculation, design of magnetics, sensors, and control algorithms. Design validation through analytical and numerical approach.
DC/AC conversion
Analysis of a complete three-phase traction inverter. Multiphase converters.
Laboratory experiences
The dynamic behavior of converters will be simulated by means of numerical software (LTSpice, Matlab/Simulink and PLECS). Measurements on real converters will be carried out during laboratory experiences.
A CAD software dedicated to electronic design will be used to draw the circuit diagrams and to design multilayer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) keeping into account electrical and physical constraints. A simple converter will be designed, fabricated, and tested.
Testi/Bibliografia
The in-depth study of some converters can be consulted in the following reference books:
- Switching Power Supply Design - Abraham I. Pressman
- Fundamentals of Power Electronics - Robert W. Erickson
