Power electronics projects, In this article you will get basic ideas of power electronics projects. I will talk about basic level projects of power electronics and then I will move forward towards semester level projects of power electronics and their applications in industry. At the end of this article I will give you ideas about power electronics final year projects. Mostly final year students do power electronics projects related to inveters and UPS only. But there are a lot of fields of power electronics in which you can work for your final year project. Lets start with question of why we need power electronics and why it has gained a lot of popularity in last 20-30 years.
Power electronics projects demand
Power electronics gained a lot of popularity in last 20-30 years because the demand to control power from one level to another level and from AC to DC form is increasing day by day. For example In AC motor driver circuits we need to vary voltage and frequency to get variable speed for variable speed applications. Like wise in your computer power supply we need different level of DC voltages from single source 12V, 5V and 3V. Similarly there are enormous application of power electronics in AC motor drives, DC motor drives, HVDC, DC to DC converters, inverters, FACTS and UPS. you can work on all these projects as your final year project. That is why demand of power electronics projects are increasing day by day.
What you need to know before working on power electronics projects :
Just like to get admission in engineering field or to become an electrical engineer you should have good command in mathematics. Similarly before choosing power electronics project as your final year project, you should have background on following topics or you should work on these topics to complete your project successfully.
- What is diode ? How diode works? How to choose diode for specific rating for your required project?
- what are power transistor, MOSFET and IGBTs? How they work ? How to choose them for your project?
- What is gate driver circuit? Why we need of gate driver circuit?
- What is turn on and turn of time of semiconductor devices?
- What is pulse width modulation? What is duty cycle? How to generate PWM?
- What is heat sink? How to use heat sink for protection?
- What are snubber circuits ? And how to use them?
I will try to post articles on above topics in future one by one. For update about above articles subscribe to our blog to get updates in your email inbox or keep visiting our website.

There are many other ideas on power electronics projects. I am just try to give you basic idea about how to select your final year power electronics based project.
Hello, I am trying to make a CUK converter. I am facing problem to interface igbt IRG4BC20UD. Can you help me?
What problems you are facing ?
I have no driver available. So i tried to use push pull circuit to drive the igbt but didnt worked.
In simulation the current in gate and emitter is too high.
And another question , Is there any problem if i drive igbt directly using arduino.
you have to use IGBT driver. You can’t drive it direclty from Arduino. Otherwise it will burn your Arduino. You can use IR2210 to drive IGBT and give your arduino signal to high or low input of IR2110 driver depending in which side IGBT you are using. High side or low side
Either you use push pull or any dc dc converter toplogy you have to use driver. you can purchase IR2110 driver from market
Thank you very much for the help. Will probably disturb you further in the future.
Can I send you mail at microcontrollerslabhub@gmail.com
Thanks for the useful
can you provide us three phase space vector modulated inverter code using dsp processor Tms320f28335 code using c language with code composer studio.v7 platform.
plzz give circuit of fly back converter using arduino
