Power Convertors and Efficiency in Battery Applications

Module 1 - Introduction to power electronic converters

• The need for power conversion
• Principles of switched power converters
• Types of switched power converters
• Conversion losses and efficiency

Module 2 - Power conversion and efficiency in battery systems

• Battery capacity and energy
• Battery losses and efficiency
• Power electronic interfaces for batteries

Module 3 - Battery applications

• Total System energy efficiency in battery applications
• Application example: energy efficiency of a USB power bank
• Application example: home battery storage systems
• Application example: wireless charging
• Business example

A basic understanding of electrical systems is required.

You learn with a digital and interactive learning management system that provides the materials for a seminar. You have access to learning modules and sequences, links and other files. This enables a proven basis for location-independent and effective learning.

This course is beneficial particularly for engineers without a background in power electronics concerned about system efficiency in battery applications. It is suitable for anyone with a non-engineering background working with battery applications looking for an overview of power converter needs and insights into the impact on system performance. (It can be beneficial as introduction to technicians.)

3 months access to all learning content, flexible time management possible
Duration: 8  learning hours
Number of lessons: 12 Flyer

This course will empower you to:

• Apply insights into the need for power conversion in future applications
• Identify the type of power converters required in a battery application
• Evaluate a given application in terms of component and system efficiency
• Take into account the energy losses of power converters and batteries in the assessment of overall system performance
