Power Electronics and Drives

About Department

Power Electronics deals with conversion and control of electrical power. Power Electronics is often defined as a hybrid technology that involves the disciplines of power and electronics. The field of Power Electronics and Drives is changing very rapidly due to intensive research taking place in the areas of power semiconductor devices and digital signal processing. Hence it is the need of the day to keep abreast of this field and to cater the requirements of industry in a better way. Developments of advanced topologies of electrical machines have also widened the scope of power electronic controllers.

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering offers a two year masters program in Power Electronics and Drives. The program has an increasing exposure towards growing industrial needs. This program includes a the detailed study of power electronic devices and its applications for AC drives and DC drives, power system voltage stability and its control and the trends in the renewable energy systems.

Scope & Job Oppourtunities

Earning an engineering degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering will open the avenues to many opportunities. In today’s high-tech world, this engineering degree is a great foundation for careers in traditional engineering fields and in management, sales, government, medicine, research, teaching, and more. Electrical engineers generally design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment. Some of the equipment include electric motors, machinery controls, lighting, and wiring in buildings; radar and navigation systems; power-generation, controlling and transmission devices used by electric utilities.

Electrical engineering focuses on the generation and supply of power, whereas electronics engineering is the application of electricity to control systems or signal processing. Electrical & Electronics engineers specialize in areas such as power systems engineering or electrical equipment manufacturing, signal processing and control systems.
