FEJ3311 Modulation of Power Electronic Converters 8.0 credits
Effektelektronisk modulation
Modulation of power converters plays a decisive role in modern power electronics where low losses as well as dynamical requirements, harmonics and electromagnetic interference (EMI) are of great importance. The course covers synthesis and analysis of modulation methods for Voltage Source Converters (VSC).

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The individualized project should preferably be linked to the student’s own research.
Other requirements for final grade *
