About this Specialization
Applied Learning Project
Learners will start with supplied Spice simulation examples to design and verify their own high-performance closed-loop controlled dc-dc converters, ac-dc power-factor correction rectifiers, and photovoltaic dc-ac inverters. The final course in the Specialization includes a peer-graded project where learners design and test control loops in a complete 5 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) power system including a maximum power point tracking boost converter and a single-phase grid-tied inverter.
It is highly recommended that learners take Introduction to Power Electronics, Converter Circuits, and Converter Control before attempting to take courses in this Specialization.

How the Specialization Works
Take Courses
A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.
Hands-on Project
Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.
Earn a Certificate
When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.
