Electrotechnical Engineering
Work description
1) Investigate the state of the art of isolated and non-isolated DC/DC converter topologies. 2) Study the state of the art of control algorithms for photovoltaic panel converters. 3) Simulate and design an isolated DC/DC converter for photovoltaic panels with an interface to a DC network. 4) Develop the thermal analysis of the converter. 5) Design the high-frequency transformer for the converter. 6) Develop the printed circuit board (PCB) for the power board and control board. 7) Develop the firmware (FW) with control algorithms for the converter using a microcontroller. 8)Test the converter in a laboratory environment. 9) Write complementary articles if innovative results are obtained.
