This paper presents internet-based learning platform for power electronics courses. The aim of the proposed distance learning system is to realize a platform capable of constructing a wide range of circuit topologies and control techniques, thus enabling students to gain better understanding of power electronics converters through practical experiments. The proposed platform consists of a recon...

With the increase dependency on electricity to provide correct form of electricity for lightning, machines, and home and office appliances, the need for the introduction of high reliability power electronics in converting the raw form of electricity into efficient electricity for these applications is uprising. One of the most common failures in power electronics is temperature related failure ...

Power electronics, as defined by Thomas G. Wilson, is:" The technology associated with the efficient conversion, control and conditioning of electric power by static means from its available input form into the desired electrical output form." The goal of power electronics is to realize power conversion from an electrical source to an electrical load in a highly efficient, highly reliable and c...
