Basic Electrical Technology

Basic electricity: Electricity is the flow of electrons from one place to another. Electrons can flow through any material, but does so more easily in some than in others. ... The resistance of a material is measured in Ohms.

NOC:Design and Simulation of DC-DC conve..

This course is a design oriented. There are many dc-dc converter topologies that are used in power supplies. This course emphasises learning and understanding the topologies through the aid of open sources tools like octave, gEDA and ngSpice. The course starts with a discussion on rectifier circuits and leads on upto multi-output dc-dc converters. The discussion on the various topologies is strengthened with the aid of simulation demonstrations and design exercises.

NOC:Design of photovoltaic systems

This course is a design oriented course aimed at photovoltaic system design. The course begins by discussing about the PV cell electrical characteristics and interconnections. Estimation of insolation and PV sizing is addressed is some detail. Maximum power point tracking and circuits related to it are discussed. Later, applications related to peltier refrigeration, water pumping, grid connection and micro grids are discussed in detail. Lastly a brief discussion on life cycle costing is also discussed in order to bring in a measure of completeness to the course.
