CRC Press Power Electronics Basics: Operating Principles, Design, Formulas, and Applications

Power Electronics Basics: Operating Principles, Design, Formulas, and Applications provides fundamental knowledge for the analysis and design of modern power electronic devices. This concise and user-friendly resource: Explains the basic concepts and most important terms of power electronics Describes the power assemblies, control, and passive components of semiconductor power switches Covers the control of power electronic devices, from mathematical modeling to the analysis of the electrical processes Addresses pulse-width modulation, power quality control, and multilevel, modular, and multicell power converter topologies Discusses line-commutated and resonant converters, as well as inverters and AC converters based on completely controllable switches Explores cutting-edge applications of power electronics, including renewable energy production and storage, fuel cells, and electric drives Power Electronics Basics: Operating Principles, Design, Formulas, and Applications supplies graduate students, industry professionals, researchers, and academics with a solid understanding of the underlying theory, while offering an overview of the latest achievements and development prospects in the power electronics industry. Review "... valuable to every undergraduate or graduate student, practicing engineer or technician, industry professional, researcher, and academic willing to study the broad field of power electronics. It offers a solid background on the underlying theory, while making an overview about the latest trends in converters and control methods of the power electronics industry. The book is also fundamental for power electronics professors and instructors, serving as a textbook for undergraduate classes and as a model for more advanced courses."―Fernando A. Silva, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, from IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, December 2015 "... a very good manual for engineers and researchers, in which they can find the basic features of power electronics and its advantages and disadvantages. ... very useful. ... imparts readers with the basic knowledge needed for full use of the potential of power electronics. ... The authors are qualified experts in the field. ... This clear, integrated presentation that calls attention to the main features of power electronics may serve as a good tool in power electronics instruction."―Vadim Utkin, IEEE Fellow and Professor, Ohio State University, Columbus, USA, from Russian Electrical Engineering, 2015 "… a great handbook of power electronics. It contains a deeply comprehensive and up-to-date overview of both the building blocks and the converter topologies. The book is unique in linking its main power electronics part to particular control methods as well as to particular applications. This approach helps anybody not directly experienced in this field to understand power electronics in the context of its typical use. The control engineers then can better understand specialties and limitation of particular control methods regarding power switches. Finally, for university students, this book also shall be a signpost referring additional topics that can About the Author Yuriy Rozanov earned a Dipl.-Eng in electromechanical engineering and Ph.D in science and technical science from the National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute," Russia, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Apparatus.
