From the Back Cover

A Thorough Overview of the Tools and Techniques of Modern PowerElectronics Now Fully Updated

Over the past decade, the field of power electronics has seen asurge of new trends and novel applications from the growingsignificance of PWM rectifiers and multilevel inverters to thewidespread use of power converters in electric and hybrid vehiclesand renewable energy systems. This new edition of Introductionto Modern Power Electronics provides comprehensive coverage ofeverything from the basic principles and methods of electronicpower conversion to the latest developments in the field.

More concise and user–friendly than other textbooks on thesubject, this streamlined guide presents essential material thatcan be covered easily in a one–semester course. It defines thebasic types of power conversion and control, presents theelectronic converters that process power for a variety ofapplications, and describes the various semiconductor powerswitches and complimentary components and systems of theconverters. This Second Edition also features:

  • In–depth discussions of all power conversion types: ac–to–dc,ac–to–ac, dc–to–dc, and dc–to–ac

  • An overview of advanced control methods used in today spower electronic converters

  • A new chapter on the applications of power electronics in cleanenergy systems

  • An extensive body of examples, exercises, computer assignments,and simulations

  • An Instructor s Manual with solutions to all problems

In addition, a companion set of forty–eight PSpice text files oftypical power conversion circuits is available online, constitutinga virtual laboratory of power electronics. This valuable teachingtool contains models of most of the converters covered in the book,giving students the opportunity to tinker with the converters andsee how they actually work.

Ideal for undergraduate students specializing in electricalengineering, industrial engineering, or renewable energy,Introduction to Modern Power Electronics is also a handyreference tool for graduate students and practicing engineers.
