Interactive Power Electronics Seminar (iPES) - www.ipes.ethz.ch
The following Java applets are part of the Introductory Course on Power Electronics taught by Prof. Kolar
at the ETH Zurich. The interactive and animated applets are used as aid for teaching in the classroom and
are displayed using a laptop and a beamer. Furthermore, the applets do provide an opportunity for the students
to experiment and learn at home more efficiently.
iPES-Circuits (Basic Circuits in Power Electronics)
This is an educational module dedicated to basic power electronic circuits. The module includes DC/DC converters,
basic diode and thyristor converter systems, AC/DC inverter, space vector modulation and basic signal theory.
In the future there will be minor changes (mainly additions and corrections). The material currently is available
in German, English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Spanish.

iPES-Circuits+ (Advanced Power Electronic Systems)
This is a collection of applets for power electronic systems of higher complexity employed in industry today.
The applets are designed for giving an engineer a quick introduction into the system characteristics and features
in order to reduce the development time. Besides the applets other resources like links to relevant papers and
brief technical summaries are provided. This project will be extended in future on a continuous basis.The material
currently is available only in English, translations might be added in the future.

iPES-Thermal (Thermal Problems in Power Electronics)
In this educational module thermal effects being important for the dimensioning and operation of power
electronic converters In connection with the increasing requirements on the power density and reliability of
power electronic a basic understanding of thermal problems will become more and more important for the engineer.
Besides basics we also provide applets visualizing effects like thermal runaway and paralleling of
power semiconductor devices. Further applets will be added, and translations into other languages than
English will be provided in the future.

iPES-EMFields (Theory of Electric and Magnetic Fields)
This module is about basics of magnetic components in power electronics. The applets do visualize electrostatic
fields, magnetic fields, the effect of magnetic permeability, rotating magnetic fields, and the systematic
design of inductors. The applets in this module are partly based on finite element calculations which might
result in performance problems on low clock frequency computers ( < 500MHz). The applets will be further
improved and many more applets will be added in the future in order to cover the basics of passive power
components in more detail. Currently the module is available only in English, translations will be added in the future.
