Opis

Power electronic control is a coupling of electronic technology and applications from power engineering which rely on one another to provide cleaner electrical power, increased speed and reliability of power and accurate and efficient control of power. Power Electronics Vol. 1 explains the principles and practices of power electronics, electronic switches and converters with the support of illustration and worked examples, guiding the reader from theory to real life application. Covering insights into industrial applications and practical aspects of power electronic devices and power converter systems this is intended for engineers, researchers and students in the field of power electronics who are interested in advanced control of power converters and control specialists who like to explore new applications of control theory.

• Includes illustrated diagrams to cover up-to-date industry applications
• In-depth worked examples support the understanding of discussed power electronics theory and the practical applications
• Each chapter concludes an evaluation to reinforce the acquired chapter knowledge
