TITLE: Power Electronics and Drives
SUMMER ACADEMY PLAN
The International Summer Academy 2025 entitled “Power Electronics and Drives” is an intensive and interactive program, dedicated to students, researchers and innovators who want to share their knowledge in the field of power electronics, control systems and their application in industry.
This academy offers a balanced combination of theory and practice, including lectures by professors and industry, practical laboratory work, team work on projects and discussions on case studies. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the latest topics in:Power Electronics and Key Components, DC/AC Converters and Their Applications, DC/AC Conversion and Inverters and Lab session:” Identification and testing of components (diodes, transistors, thyristors)”. Building and testing a simple DC power supply with a diode and resistive load. “Measuring output voltage under different load conditions”. “Generating PWM signals using Arduino or microcontroller”.“Frequency control for speed variation in motors”
AN OUTSTANDING NETWORK
The Academia will bring more knowledge teoritical and practical for Power Electronics and Drive .
TARGET GROUPS
The students (Bachelor, Master) studying in Natural and Technical Sciences, Mechatronics Engineering, Energy Efficiency Engineering, and Computer Science Engineering.
OPPORTUNITY QUALIFICATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA
All participants that have participated the 50% of the summer academy will take the certificate of participation to the Summer Academy on Mechatronics Engineering. At the end of the summer academy the exam will be organized and the participants passing the exam will take the certificate of completion with 3 ECTS, which can be calculated as free elective course in any faculty at UBT depending on the decision of the Dean of the corresponding faculty.
THE DESIRED OUTCOME
At the end of the academy the participants will understand core principles of power electronics (converters, inverters, PWM techniques). Master control strategies for electric drives (AC/DC motors, servo systems). Build and test real-world circuits (e.g., DC-DC converters, motor drives). Develop problem-solving skills through lab work and group projects.
