Beginning with a thorough discussion of electromagnetics, the book achieves two primary objectives. First, the book develops an understanding of electric and magnetic fields so that readers can connect the structure of electromagnetic fields to circuit structures and their lumped element models. Second, it allows the user to gain sufficient facility with electromagnetic waves to appreciate phenomena associated with waves traveling in circuits and on printed circuit boards such as reflection, transmission, dispersion, and loss.

Modern semiconductor devices have reached high current and voltage levels, and their power-handling limits can be extended if they are used in multilevel converter configurations. To create high-performance and reliable control designs, however, engineers need in-depth understanding of the characteristics and operation of these topologies. Multilevel Converters for Industrial Applications presents a thorough and comprehensive analysis of multilevel converters with a common DC voltage source. The book offers a novel perspective to help readers understand the principles of...

Energy conversion techniques are key in power electronics and even more so in renewable energy source systems, which require a large number of converters. Renewable Energy Systems: Advanced Conversion Technologies and Applications describes advanced conversion technologies and provides design examples of converters and inverters for renewable energy systems—including wind turbine and solar panel energy systems.

Setting the scene, the book begins with a review of the...
