Jorma KyyräHead of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation at Aalto University
Jorma Kyyrä received the M.Sc., Lic.Sc., and D.Sc. degrees from the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK), which is now Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland, in 1987, 1991, and 1995, respectively.
Since 1985, he has been with the university in various positions. Since 1996, he has been an Associate Professor of power electronics, and since 1998, a Professor of power electronics. From 2008 to 2009, he has been the Dean with the Faculty of Electronics, Communications and Automation, TKK, and from 2009 to 2011, the Vice President of Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. He is currently the Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation at Aalto University. His research interest is power electronics at large. The power electronics group at Aalto University has expertise, e.g., in power electronics for ac drives, dc–dc converters, modeling of converters, filtering of EMI, power factor correction, and distributed power systems.
After taking the course, you will be able to:
- Understand the different converter types for three-phase conversions, ac-dc, dc-ac and ac-ac
- Calculate reactive power consumption of thyristor converters
- Understand the difference between voltage- and current sourced converters
- Analyze power electronics with space-vector theory
- Construct different pulse-width modulation techniques with phase quantities or space-vector
- Understand the basics of filtering of harmonics
This online course is suitable for people interested in power electronics. The course delves deeper into the realm of power converters with a primary focus on three-phase systems.
Prerequisite: To ensure a smooth and comprehensive learning experience in the course, students should have a good understanding of power electronics. You may already have prior knowledge on your own, or you can acquire it by completing the Power Electronics course before taking this course. You also need to know how to analyze electric circuits.
