MSE 353 – Power Electronics and Electric Machinery
Introduction to various power electronic circuits, electric machines and their applications in energy conversion systems. Main topics cover power semiconductor devices, buck and boost dc-dc converters, ac-dc rectifiers, dc-ac inverter circuits and analysis, converter modulation techniques, introduction to dc and ac electric motors and their operation through electric drives.
MSE 452/894 – Power Conversion in Alternative Energy Systems
Introduction to state-of-the-art power conversion technologies in alternative
energy systems such as wind and solar energy systems. Upon completion of the course, students are
expected to: describe various alternative energy systems and concepts; compare different power
conversion architectures for alternative energy systems; design and evaluate advanced switching
schemes for converters; design system configurations for different alternative energy sources such
as wind and solar; determine system rating, sizing, parameters, and operation; analyze performance
of alternative energy systems; investigate alternative energy systems and operation with computer
simulation; and observe and measure alternative energy systems with lab equipment.
MSE 490/893 – Electrified
Transportation Systems
Introduces architectures, configurations, components, and operation
schemes for modern electrified transportation systems, including road,
waterborne, rail, and aeronautic systems.
MSE 450/750 – Real-Time and Embedded Control Systems
Implementation and design of embedded computer control systems used in mechatronics and other applications. Many of these systems are real-time in nature, meaning that the computer system must discern the state of the world and react to it within stringent response-time constraints. A basic understanding of how to design, build and integrate hardware and software for an embedded control application will be obtained upon completion of the course. Hands-on experience will be gained by performing laboratory experiments and working on embedded computer control projects.
Course materials are maintained on SFU Canvas.
