Power Electronics with Wide Band Gap Devices

By Prof. Moumita Das   |   IIT Mandi
Learners enrolled: 850   |  Exam registration: 99
ABOUT THE COURSE:
The major goal of this course is to familiarize the students with the properties of the wide bandgap devices and designing driver board to demonstrate the basic operating principles and their designing in PCB and thermal distribution for real world applications. Moreover, the modern designing challenges associated for high frequency power converter design by considering parasitic elements will also be presented, such as parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance of the PCB. Power density advantages by using these devices for high power applications while operating at high operating frequency for emerging power applications are integral part of the course. Additionally, it will introduce methods of designing high frequency magnetics for high frequency operation of the power converters. Finally, the benefits of using the device in real life application will be discussed. In brief, the objective of this course is to provide a detailed understanding of wide bandgap devices and the state-of-the-art of design of power converters for real life application using these devices.

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Mandi. It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
