More about the book
Power electronics is a rapidly expanding field that leverages modern technology to convert electric power across various forms, including ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac, with adjustable output magnitude and frequency. Its applications are prevalent in daily life, encompassing air-conditioners, electric vehicles, subway trains, motor drives, renewable energy sources, and computer power supplies. This comprehensive resource addresses all facets of switching devices, converter circuit topologies, control techniques, analytical methods, and practical applications. The latest edition features four new chapters that delve into renewable energy, energy transmission, energy storage, and an introduction to Distributed and Cogeneration (DCG) technology, which includes gas turbines, gensets, microturbines, wind turbines, variable speed generators, photovoltaics, and fuel cells, along with smart grid technology. Readers will gain the skills necessary to provide technical design leadership on power electronics projects, guiding designs from concept to production with significant scope and complexity. The book comprises 45 chapters that cover all aspects of power electronics and its applications, with contributions from over fifty leading experts across twelve countries.
