Short description Recent advances in technology have permitted the use of self-commutating converters in high-power applications, enabling a number of exciting new technological developments. Self-Commutating Converters for High Power Applications uniquely covers the newly developed areas of applications requiring either Ultra-High Voltages (over 600 kVs) or Ultra-High Currents (in hundreds of kA), including techniques especially important to projects in developing countries. Written with a logical approach by well-published authors, this concise volume is suitable for engineers in power generation and utilities or final-year undergraduates in power engineering courses.
