Power Electronics and Drives Indian Institute of Technology Mandi

Overview

About Power Electronics and Drives at Indian Institute of Technology Mandi

Objectives:

• To make the students conceptually strong and also aware of the state-of-the-art technology/practices in the area of power electronics and drives.
• To take the students through essential stages of technology starting from circuit and system level understanding, modeling, control, design, numerical simulations and finally experimental implementation.

• To expose the students to real-world industry oriented problems in the field of power electronics and drives and enable them to find feasible practical solutions to them

Salient features of the program:  

• In the first semester, the focus will be on Electrical Engineering Core courses which are pre-requisites for more advanced and specialized courses. The core courses are mandatory.  

• Laboratory core courses are designed so as to go hand-in-hand with theory core courses and to bring in a deeper insight into the concepts learned in the classroom. Laboratory experiments are designed in consultation with industrial partners to bring stat-of-art practices to the curriculum.  

• Advanced and specialized courses are offered to make the students aware of the state-of-the-art in the technology, such that they are exposed to the real-world problems and ultimately able enough to tackle them with technology solutions.  
• Advanced power electronics and drives laboratories will be developed which will not only be essential for the M.Tech students but can also be used by UG students at IIT Mandi for their projects.
