Project Description:

As technology innovates and industries evolve, so should education. The Algonquin Electrical Engineering program has a lack of content dealing with MOSFETs and IGBTs. To solve this, lab material can be developed which outlines the function and application of such components

The DC Inverter projects Goal to design and create a custom-built DC inverter that will be capable of driving a 3-Phase Motor. Additionally, this process will need to be replicable and broken down into draft labs which can be turned into full-fledged assignments used for future students of the Electrical Engineering Technologies program at Algonquin.

The deliverables of this project or separated into 2 sections. The first being the Custom DC inverter which will need to be designed and created with accessible tools and components (Including the use off the programs standard Issue Arduinos). The second section will provide 2-3 draft labs which will breakdown the process into fundamentals which could be taught to future students.

Together with a finalized design/PCB and a comprehensive lab breakdown, we hope to satisfy our clients request and inspire new material to be added into the curriculum.

Short Description:

Our client Andrew Huddleston who currently works as a professor at Algonquin College, is interest in improving and updating the Power electronics courses within the college to keep up with current trends in the industry.
