This course will help you understand through selected extracts from conferences held by experts during the SUSTAIN-E Summer School Sustainable Electronic, the concept of sustainable electronics. Here you will explore its purpose and the motivations behind adopting such practices. It also highlights the challenges that still persist across economic, geographical, social and political dimensions. Everything through a product life cycle perspective where you will compare and examine two products to help you better understand the importance of transitioning toward more sustainable and responsible practices.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and applications of power conversion, covering various converter topologies such as DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters. Participants will explore the characteristics and selection criteria for key electronic components, including semiconductors, inductors, capacitors, and transformers. Additionally, the course emphasizes advanced design techniques, such as thermal management, control strategies, and efficiency optimization. Practical aspects of fabrication and assembly of power electronic systems are covered, with a focus on ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and compliance with industry standards.
This course will help you understand the fundamentals of environmental impact assessment of electronics, and the basic instincts that you must develop to design more sustainable devices.
