Power Electronics in Energy Conversion Systems

This comprehensive textbook clearly explains the principles and applications of power electronics as a critical part of modern energy conversion systems. The book features theoretical and practical coverage of the power electronics and electric machines required for the dynamic and steady-state analysis of modern energy conversion systems, including renewable energy systems, motor-drives, and powertrains in electric vehicles.

Written by a seasoned educator, Power Electronics in Energy Conversion Systems contains topics not included in other textbooks, such as high-frequency phenomenon in motor-drives and fault-tolerant converters. Readers will get detailed discussions on steady-state and dynamics of rotating machines, switching and control of smart inverters, active rectifiers and dc-dc converters, scalar and vector control schemes in motor drives, power electronic converters as the interface between renewable energy devices and the power grid and much more. The book features hundreds of illustrations and examples.
