Course Objective
Different MPPT and control techniques using power electronic converters are the critical components of the major
renewable energy extractions. However, the present course is also focused on the operations and analysis of different
grid synchronization techniques for PV and wind generation systems. The design of different filter circuits and their
performance analysis, etc., are also covered.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to
Understand the operation of photovoltaic and wind energy systems and their controls.
Understand the grid synchronization techniques with the renewable energy sources
Understand the maximum power point (MPP) technique and the grid current control techniques.
Design, develop and analyze the performance of the different filter circuits.
