Introduction To Modern Power Electronics, Third Edition

Trzynadlowski presents a core textbook for a one-semester introductory course in power electronics at the undergraduate level or an auxiliary textbook for a more advanced course. He assumes students to have a working knowledge of electric circuit analysis and basic electronics. He begins with a hypothetical generic power converter to explain basic principles and methods of power electronics. Other topics are semiconductor power switches, supplementary components and systems, converters for all directions of alternating and direct current, switching power supplies, and power electronics and clean energy.
