This document provides information about an Introduction to Power Electronics course offered at the University of the Philippines. The course is a 3-unit class that meets twice a week for lectures and 3 hours weekly for labs. It aims to provide students with a basic understanding of power electronics circuits and an appreciation for different power conversion technologies. The course covers topics like DC/DC converters, rectifiers, inverters and voltage controllers through lectures and lab experiments. Students are evaluated based on three exams, lab experiments and a mini project, and must earn at least 60 points total to pass.

DESCRIPTION. Switching converter principles, PWM, phase control. Rectifiers. AC and DC converters. PREREQUISITE. EEE 53 (Electronics Circuits II) CREDITS. 3 units. (2 lec, 3 lab)
COURSE GOALS
At the end of the semester, you should be able to accomplish the following: • Provide a basic understanding of power electronics circuits • Appreciate well established topologies of different conversion technologies
SCHEDULE
1 Course Overview 18 Exam 2
2-3 Introduction/Review: Power Computations 19-20 DC to AC: Inverters 4-9 DC/DC Converters 21-22 AC to AC: Voltage Controllers 10 Exam 1 23-24 Practical Considerations / Applications 11-12 AC to DC: Half-Wave Rectifiers 25 Exam 3 13-14 AC to DC: Full-Wave Rectifiers 26-27 Machine Problem Presentation 15-17 AC to DC: Controlled Rectifiers
LECTURE REQUIREMENTS
1. 3 EXAMS (40 pts. each). This is a written examination to assess your understanding of the topics.
TOTAL: 120 pts.
LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS
1. EXPERIMENTS (80 pts.). These are mini experiments conducted in the laboratory.
2. 1 MINI PROJECT (30 pts.). This is a requirement to be submitted towards the end of the semester. The mini project will cover topics to be discussed in class.
TOTAL: 110 pts.
CLASS POLICIES
a. PASSING THE COURSE. To pass EE 121, your lecture and laboratory average must be at least 60pts with the lecture component having at least 50 pts. This is non-negotiable. b. FINAL GRADE Your lecture and laboratory grade components will be the total accumulated points divided by 100. Your grade in EE 121 is the average of your lecture and laboratory grades. Each of your lecture, laboratory, or final grade cannot exceed 100%. c. APPEAL FOR CORRECTIONS. Appeals for corrections to exam results are only valid for up to two weeks after the exam has been returned or until the deadline of submission of grades, whichever is first. d. MISSED QUIZ OR EXAM. If unexcused, you will get a grade of zero for a missed exam. If excused, a missed exam will be replaced by a comprehensive exam at the end of the course. Missing more than one exam, whether excused or not, will merit a failing grade for the course. e. INCOMPLETE. Failure to submit the report for the machine problem will merit a grade of INC provided that you have a passing average in the lecture and laboratory (at least 60 points). f. NO REMOVAL EXAMS. I will not give a grade of 4.0. g. ABSENCES. Unexcused absences exceeding 3 laboratory meetings will merit a grade of 5 for the course.
