PROJECT TITLE :

Teaching Power Electronics With a Design-Oriented, Project-Based Learning Method at the Technical University of Denmark

ABSTRACT:

Power electronics is a quick-developing technology within the electrical engineering field. This paper presents the results and experiences gained from applying style-oriented project-based mostly learning to change-mode power offer design in an exceedingly power electronics course at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Project-based mostly learning (PBL) is understood to be a noteworthy downside-targeted teaching method that not only places students at the core of teaching and learning activities but additionally gives them the power to transfer their acquired scientific information into industrial observe. Students choose a specification to implement from varied power converter application projects, like a fuel cell power conditioning converter, a lightweight-emitting diode (LED) driver or a battery charger. The scholars select the topology, design magnetic elements, calculate input/output filters and design closed-loop controllers necessary to satisfy the wants listed within the chosen specification and therefore meet the project's goals. This paper presents the course teaching set up and teaching strategies, assessment methodology and student feedback.
