Power Electronics, Drives, and Advanced Applications

Concern for reliable power supply and energy-efficient system design has led to usage of power electronics-based systems, including efficient electric power conversion and power semiconductor devices. This book provides integration of complete fundamental theory, design, simulation and application of power electronics, and drives covering up-to-date subject components. It contains twenty-two chapters arranged in five sections on power semiconductor devices, basic power electronic converters, advanced power electronics converters, power supplies and electrical drives. Each chapter includes simulation examples using MATLAB/Simulink and hardware design and solved and unsolved problems.
