Power Converter Switching - MOSFET Switching
Guest Lecture Description:
The lecture is for graduated students or engineers to understand power semiconductor switching theories behind applications of power electronics and further properly design and optimize power converters based on the theories. Audients in the guest lecture are assumed that they have basic knowledge of Power Electronics and Power Semiconductors.
Guest Lecture Objective:
The objective of this lecture is to provide theories and operation principles of power MOSFET in hard switching and soft switching conditions in power electronics systems. By the end of the lecture, students will compare the advantages and disadvantages of power MOSFET techniques use in modern power electronics applications and students will be able to determine power semiconductor losses in a power converter.
Biography:
Dr. River Tin-ho Li received his B.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees in electronics engineering from the City University of Hong Kong in 2004 and 2010 respectively.
In 2006, he was a Senior Electronics Engineer at Emerson Network Power China responsible for power supply burn-in energy recycle system development. In 2010, he joined ABB Switzerland as a Scientist and responsible for PV inverter and EV charger research activities. He was transferred to ABB China in 2013 and set up the power electronics research team. In 2018, he joined Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), where he is currently a Senior Manager of Power Electronics Team. His research interests include power electronics converter topologies and efficient switching techniques for low voltage applications.
