6.622 Power Electronics (Spring 2023, MIT OCW). Instructor: Prof. David Perreault. 6.622 covers modeling, analysis, design, control, and application of circuits for energy conversion and control. As described by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), power electronics technology "encompasses the use of electronic components, the application of circuit theory and design techniques, and the development of analytical tools toward efficient electronic conversion, control, and conditioning of electric power." Students taking this class will come away with an understanding of the fundamental principles of power electronics, and knowledge of how to both analyze and design power electronic components and systems.

Lecture 02 - Analysis Methods and Rectifiers
In this lecture, we first review linear vs. switching regulators. We then introduce definitions and methods for analyzing switching circuits, including the method of assumed states and periodic steady state.
