Lecturer: Prof. dr. Goga Cvetkovski

Course Goals (acquired competencies): With successful completion of this course the student will have competence for analysis and practical implementation and usage of power converters in renewable energy sources.

Course Syllabus: Overview of the basic types of power converters (rectifiers, inverters, AC voltage controllers, DC choppers, etc.). Topologies, principle of operation and characteristics of inverters applied in photovoltaic systems (network controlled and autonomous inverters, network connection conditions, inverter control techniques). Topologies, principle of operation and characteristics of inverters applied in wind generators systems (presentation of different types of wind generator topologies, presentation and analysis of the power converters applied in such systems, network connection conditions, inverter control techniques). Topologies, principle of operation and characteristics of inverters applied in static excitation systems of synchronous hydro generators.  Design and manufacture of network connected filters for electrical energy quality improvement from renewables.
