Description
Power electronics, which is a rapidly growing area in terms of research and applications, uses modern electronics technology to convert
electric power from one form to another, such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac with a variable output magnitude and frequency. Power
electronics has many applications in our every day life such as air-conditioners, electric cars, sub-way trains, motor drives, renewable
energy sources and power supplies for computers. This book covers all aspects of switching devices, converter circuit topologies, control
techniques, analytical methods and some examples of their applications.
Audience
Practicing electrical engineers involved in operation, design and analysis of power electronics equipment and motor drives; students in
electrical and systems engineering, focused on power electronics.
