Add to basketThis book is designed to serve both beginners and experienced professionals, offering a balanced blend of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and state‑of‑the‑art control techniques. It investigates a wide range of control methods essential for managing power converters, beginning with an introduction to their operation and fundamental principles. The chapters on Linear and Nonlinear Control establish the essential groundwork, guiding readers through the core concepts and highlighting the challenges associated with controlling the inherently complex and nonlinear behavior of power electronic systems. Building on these fundamentals, this book explores Digital Control, explaining how digital controllers, microprocessors, and DSPs have transformed power electronics by enabling high precision, greater flexibility, and improved reliability compared to traditional analog approaches.
To address stability in nonlinear environments, a dedicated chapter on Lyapunov‑based Control introduces advanced stability analysis techniques that are crucial for ensuring reliable operation under diverse conditions. This book also presents a practical discussion of the Extended Kalman Filter, covering its role in state estimation and noise reduction—an essential tool for sensorless control of converters, drives, and renewable energy systems.
As modern power systems increasingly depend on automation and adaptability, the chapters on Fuzzy Logic Control and Artificial Neural Networks provide insights into intelligent control strategies that do not rely exclusively on precise mathematical models. These soft‑computing approaches offer enhanced robustness and adaptability, allowing power converters to respond efficiently to real‑time operating changes and environmental uncertainties.
This book further examines Adaptive and Robust Control methods, which are indispensable in systems with parameter variations, unknown disturbances, or high operational variability. A detailed discussion of sensorless control highlights cost‑effective approaches that reduce dependence on physical sensors while improving system reliability and efficiency—particularly relevant in motor drives and renewable energy applications.
Ersan Kabalci (M09, SM18) obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Gazi University in Ankara, Turkey, in 2003 and 2006, respectively. He completed his Ph.D. at Gazi University in 2010, with a thesis focused on implementing an enhanced modulation scheme for multilevel inverters.
From 2005 to 2007, he served as a lecturer at Gazi University. Since 2010, he has been associated with the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, where he held various positions: Assistant Professor in 2011, Associate Professor specializing in power electronics and drives in 2013, and Full Professor in 2019. He has been a visiting professor at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany from 2024 to 2025.
Prof. Kabalci is an Associate Editor for several internationally indexed journals that focus on power electronics and renewable energy sources. His current research interests include applications of power electronics and drives for renewable energy sources, microgrids, distributed generation, power line communication, and smart grid applications. He has been a member of the IEEE since 2009 and became a senior member in 2018.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, New York, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
