Development of Course on Electromagnetic Compatibility for Power Electronic Systems
Abstract
The transformation in power electronics wrought by wide-bandgap (WBG) technology hasproduced a critical accompanying need for a revolutionary change in the power systems branchof electrical engineering education. At all stages of development and installation, engineers withgraduate and undergraduate degrees and even technicians will need a strong electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) background in order to realize the full potential of WBG technology in powerconversion systems. Therefore, the educational gap between power systems and the electromagneticsdisciplines must be bridged. The low-frequency (quasistatic) approximations that form muchof the theoretical foundation of the power systems disciplines must be rescoped or even discarded,and the power systems curriculum should be expanded.
