Description
Summary:Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2010. === Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 105). === When building a high performance power converter system, characterization becomes a significant task in and of itself. This thesis addresses the development of an automated efficiency and loss measurement system for high-efficiency power converters. The design, construction, calibration, and evaluation of such a measurement setup is described, including development of software to control the system. Application of the setup to a solar high- efficiency grid-tie inverter system is also addressed. === by Grace M. Cheung. === M.Eng.
