Master of Science - Power Electronics and Drives

The control and conversion of electric power using solid-state techniques are now commonly seen in both domestic and industrial settings. Recent estimates suggest that more than 40% of all electric power generated flows through silicon before reaching its final destination.

A broad understanding of the various fields within power electronics - including devices, converters, control theory, and motor drive systems - is crucial for all power engineers.

This course aims to offer specialized education in power electronics and drives techniques, covering essential principles and modern applications.
