Introduction to Modern Power Electronics


Product Description
A concise, thorough introduction to modern power electronics This comprehensive overview of the modern tools and techniques of electric power conversion covers the fundamentals of power electronics. Unlike other textbooks on the subject, which often include a great deal of extraneous information. Introduction to Modern Power Electronics presents essential material that can be covered easily in a one-semester course. This streamlined text examines low-, medium-, and high-power conversion issues and the electronic converters that process power for a variety of applications. Following recent trends in power electronics technology, greater stress is placed on pulse-width modulated (PWM) converters than in any other textbook. Modern power electronic converters, such as the resonant dc-link and multilevel inverters or matrix converters, are thoroughly covered. Special features include:* Comprehensive, easy-to-understand coverage of the principles and methods of electric power conversion using a hypothetical generic power converter
* Descriptions of various types of semiconductor power switches and complementary components and systems for power electronic converters
* In-depth discussions of all power conversion types: ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, dc-to-dc, and dc-to-ac
* Separate chapter on switching power supplies
A companion set of 48 PSpice circuit files, available on the Internet, constitutes a virtual laboratory of power electronics. This valuable teaching tool contains models of most of the power electronic converters and techniques covered in the book. It gives students the opportunity to tinker with converters and see how they actually work. Ideal for electrical engineering students at the senior undergraduate level, Introduction to Modern Power Electronics is also a handy reference tool for advanced students and practicing engineers.
Introduction to Modern Power Electronics Review
This book introduces the often esoteric subject of power electronic conversion via a sensible and simple generic switching converter and goes on to include a very comprehensive coverage of modern conversion circuit topologies and modern devices. This book does not 'tangent' off into extraneous detail which is the quagmire which bogs students down in this subject, but maintains a very equitable intellectual level throughout. Inclusion of numerous SPICE files of typical power conversion circuits is also particularly valuable. Most students nowadays accept SPICE for modelling low power electronic circuitry so why not power electronic circuitry also.This book will be valuable to all with an interest in power electronics but especially to undergraduates, as it is one of the least intimidating texts I have ever encountered in the interesting but 'oft' shied clear of' subject of power electronics.
