About this title

Synopsis

Power Converters for Photovoltaic Power Systems: Control, Fault Diagnosis, and Reliability Analysis guides readers through the latest technologies and applications of advanced converters for the renewable-integrated energy systems of the future. The book begins with an introduction to the design principles of converters for PV applications and grid synchronization techniques before breaking down complex control strategies for PV systems, including the injection of active and reactive power in solar inverters. Fault detection, analysis, and localization are covered in detail, as are failure modes, risk indices, criticality analysis, and more advanced condition monitoring techniques.

Additional chapters cover optimizing thermal management to ensure efficient operation and reliability of photovoltaic systems, and thermal control methods for reliable operation and longevity of power electronic converters. Finally, guidance is provided on Digital Twin Integration for condition monitoring of photovoltaic-integrated energy systems.

Builds from fundamental concepts to advanced converter technologies and applications
Supports understanding with chapter summaries, process diagrams, and flow charts
Reinforces practical learning through examples and numerical problems at the end of each chapter

About the Authors

Ahteshamul Haque is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), New Delhi, India. He has established a state of the art Advanced Power Electronics Research Laboratory at JMI. He has established an Advance Power Electronics Research Lab at Jamia Millia Islamia, where their research investigates technologies including a solar-based energy conversion system, embedded system control of power electronics converters, and an electric control system for artificial lighting. Prior to his PhD at Jamia Millia Islamia, he worked in the Power Electronics R&D units of world-reputed multi-national companies. His inventions are patented in both the USA and Europe.

Frede Blaabjerg's current research interests include power electronics and its applications, such as in wind turbines, PV systems, reliability, Power-2-X, power quality, and adjustable speed drives. He has published more than 900 journal papers in the fields of power electronics and its applications. He is the co-author of ten monographs and editor of twenty books in power electronics and its applications eg. the series (4 volumes) Control of Power Electronic Converters and Systems published by Academic Press/Elsevier.

Huai Wang is currently an Associate Professor and a Research Thrust Leader with the Centre of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE), Aalborg University, Denmark. He was a Visiting Scientist with the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, from Aug. to Sep. 2014, and with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, from September to November 2013. In 2009, he was with the ABB Corporate Research Centre, Switzerland. He has contributed a few concept papers in the field of power electronics reliability, holds two patents and filed five patents on advanced passive component concepts, and co-edited a book. His research interests include the fundamental challenges in modeling and validation of power electronic component failure mechanisms, and application issues in system-level predictability, condition monitoring, circuit architecture, and robustness design. Dr. Wang was the recipient of the Richard M. Bass Outstanding Young Power Electronics Engineer Award from the IEEE Power Electronics Society in 2016, and the Green Talents Award from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in 2014. He is currently the Award Chair of the Technical Committee of the High Performance and Emerging Technologies, IEEE Power Electronics Society.

Varaha Satya Bharath Kurukuru is currently a Scientist in the Power Electronics Research Division of Silicon Austria Labs GmbH, Austria. Prior to this he served as a visiting researcher at the Center of Reliable Power Electronics, Aalborg University, Denmark (2019), and completed his Ph.D. degree in Intelligent Monitoring of Solar Photovoltaic Systems at the Advance Power Electronics Research Laboratory of Jamia Millia Islamia, India (2021). His research focuses on thermal characterization of packaged power devices, condition monitoring, and the reliability of power electronic converters in renewable energy systems and electric vehicles.

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 Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, 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.
