PSIM Expert – Design of Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters
 Place: Stuttgart, Germany Date: September 24 – 25, 2019
 Course fees: 990 Euros* for industrial participants.
750 Euros* for academic participants.

* Instructors: – Dr. Antonio Lazaro Blanco
 Language: English
 Public and technical background required
The training course is recommended to everybody interested in the theoretical aspects and practical design issues of digital control of voltage source converters. Having previous experience in power electronics and circuit simulation is useful, but beginners with no background in those topics will also benefit from the course.
 Training Objectives The objective of the course is to acquire the fundamental competences in single-phase and three-phase PFC converters. These competences are:

 Selection of the best topology for each type of application (EV chargers, motor drives, aerospace AC/DC front-end converters and power supplies). Inductors design under the specific requirements of the PFC operation. Effective Cots inductor selection. EMI filter design. Power losses calculations and MOSFET / IGBT / Diodes selection. Dynamic analysis of dynamic modeling of PFC converters. Simple but deep understanding the PFC control loops. Effective analog and digital controller design using SmartCtrl. Effective PSIM simulation of 1-ph & 3-Ph PFC converters (including conducted EMI estimation by simulation). In addition to the topology selection, specific aspects regarding the previous competences will be shown for each type of application. Antonio Lázaro was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1968. He received the M. Sc. in electrical engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, in 1995. He received the Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in 2003. He has been an Assistant Professor of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid since 1995. He has been involved in power electronics since 1994, participating in more than 50 research and development projects for industry. He holds seven patents and software registrations and he has published nearly 140 papers in IEEE journals & conferences. His research interests are switched-mode power supplies, power factor correction circuits, inverters (railway and grid connected applications), modeling and control of switching converters and digital control techniques.
