PUBLIC TALK: Systems Theory in Power Electronics: Methods, Applications and Case Studies

A public lecture by Michael Tse, Chair, Electronic Engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and 2015 IAS Distinguished Visiting Fellow

Much of the power electronics discipline has been built upon the application of circuits and systems theory. However, in the process of developing solutions for new applications, the proper use of circuits and systems theory has not always been borne in mind, leading to unnecessary repetition and reinvention of concepts that would otherwise be reached directly if the approach taken had thoroughly considered the existing knowledge in circuits and systems.

In this lecture, the role of circuits and systems will be revisited and examples will be shown to illustrate how proper application of existing circuits and systems theory would conveniently lead to important observations and conclusions that would save re-investigation or expedite understanding of the problems.
