M.Tech in Power Electronics and Drives
A two-year postgraduate Electrical Engineering programme with a published course structure spanning power conversion, drives, control, automation, laboratories and thesis research.
Power conversion, control and electric drives
The School of Electrical Engineering lists Master of Technology in Power Electronics and Drives as a two-year postgraduate programme. Its published course structure brings together power conversion techniques, electrical drives and control, control techniques in power electronics, laboratories, electives and thesis work.
The programme structure also includes advanced work in non-linear control theory, design of SMPS and PWM converters, vector control of electric drives and industrial automation.
Course names and laboratory titles on this page follow the School’s published M.Tech Electrical Engineering course structure for the Power Electronics & Drives specialization.
