Power electronics enable modern electrified technologies, from electric vehicles to renewable energy systems. In this course, you’ll learn how engineers design and model power converters to efficiently transfer and control electrical energy in real-world systems.
Through guided exercises and practical examples, you’ll build and analyze models of common power converters, evaluate their performance, and explore how design decisions affect system behavior across different operating conditions.
You’ll also examine key aspects of power converter operation, including how electrical signals are switched and regulated to achieve desired performance. These concepts help engineers design systems that meet efficiency and reliability requirements.
You’ll receive a free Simulink and Simscape license to develop system-level models, run simulations, and compare different converter architectures before hardware is built.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to model, simulate, and analyze power converters and understand how they are used in modern electronic and electrified systems. These skills will help you contribute to the design and optimization of power electronics systems across a wide range of applications.

Yes. A free license is available to learners enrolled in the course. You must have a computer capable of running Simulink. You can view the system requirements here.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
