Project Title: A small scale three-phase AC/DC bidirectional conversion
Required EE Area(s) of Expertise: Power Width Modulation, Power Electronics, and Power Transformer
Brief Project Description: Design a small model of low voltage, low power, three-phase AC/DC bidirectional convertor. Based on the industry model · Design and build a small model of an AC/DC bidirectional convertor. The model could be used in the lab for education purpose to demonstrate: - How to generate and control 3-phase AC output voltage from a DC source - How to generate and control DC output voltage from a 3-phase AC source · Design and debug · Document the test results
Major system products expected from this project: One small model of three-phase AC/DC bidirectional convertors · Block diagram, schematic (with detail component) and printed circuit board design · Heat dissipation calculation (optional as needed) · Simulation (using MATLAB or design software tool). · Transformer calculation · Build and test the circuit (will be portable with meters and indicators)
Parts of the project that “Engineering Design” is expected (e.g., mathematical calculations and/or verification simulations):
