Power Electronics And Energy Conversion Systems Volume 1 - Fundamentals And Hard-Switching Converters

This unique and comprehensive five volume set (totalling 2144pp) focuses on the study of both classical and state-of-the-art power conversion electronic circuits, and their wide variety of applications in electronic equipment. It includes many recent research advancements that have been previously unpublished and that are currently impacting the industry. Each volume is organised in basic-to-sophisticated crescendo, appealing to senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering minor students and major students, researchers and designers. Each volume builds on the previous volume, with a structure that facilitates access to most complex solutions for all readers.

This volume:

• Clearly summarizes DC to DC converters in a reference that is accessible for researchers and designers working with power circuits
• Presents previously unpublished advancements in hard switching converters including gallium nitride transistors, VRMs for microprocessors, and interleaving for reduced electromagnetic interference
• Includes the latest technology covered in senior undergraduate and graduate courses with electrical engineering (e.g. telecoms)
• Companion website with PowerPoint sides

Professor Adrian Ioinovici, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, Holon Institute of Technology, Israel Professor Adrian Ioinovici joined the Holon Institute of Technology in 1982; prior to this he was a Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has been Chairman of the Technical Committee on Power Systems and Power Electronics of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I, and of the Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers. He was co-chairman of the Tutorial Committee at ISCAs’06 and designed co-chair, Special Session Committee at ISCAS’10 in Paris.

Professor Ioinovici is the author of the book Computer-Aided Analysis of Active Circuits (New York: Marcel Dekker, 1990) and of the chapter "Power Electronics" in the Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Acad. Press, 2001). He has published more than 150 papers in circuit theory and power electronics, his research intersts being in simulation of power electronics circuits, switched-capacitor-based converters and inverters, soft-switching DC power supplies, and three-level converters.
