开发该培训计划的目的是提供有关电力电子，驱动器及其应用的最新动态课程。现在，在家庭和工业环境中，使用固态技术进行电力的控制和转换都是司空见惯的。最近的估计表明，所产生的全部电力中有40％以上通过硅到达了最终目的地。因此，对电力电子学所涵盖的各种学科（设备，转换器，控制理论和电动机驱动系统）的知识和理解对于所有电力工程师而言都是必不可少的。本课程旨在提供有关电力电子和驱动技术的专业培训，涵盖关键的基本原理以及现代应用和当前实践。
The control and conversion of electric power using solid-state techniques is now commonplace in both domestic and industrial environments. A recent estimate suggested that over 40% of all electric power generated passes through silicon before reaching its final destination.<br><br>A knowledge and understanding of the diverse disciplines encompassed by power electronics - devices, converters, control theory and motor drive systems - is therefore essential to all power engineers.<br><br>This course aims to provide a specialist education in power electronics and drives techniques, covering key fundamental principles along with modern applications and current practices.<br><br>The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nottingham has long been at the forefront of research and teaching in the area of power electronics and drives.<br>This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
