Excellent Power Electronics Book
This book is very well written and easy to follow. It is an excellent reference for power electronics engineers as well as teaching. It covers almost all aspects of power electronics including thyristors based converters for DC motor speed control, DC power supplies, and uninterruptible power supply. It also discusses modular multi-level converters and the importance of these type of converters on the integration of renewable energy sources into the electric grid, and HVDC systems. It also provides useful information about power semiconductor devices along with their applications. I really enjoyed the last chapter of this book, which was introduced in a question-answer format.
