Short description
This updated edition of this book provides comprehensive coverage of modern power electronics, addressing all the latest trends and hot-button issues--from PWM rectifiers to renewable energy systems to electromagnetic interference. It features an overview of advanced control methods used in today's power electronic converters, numerous SPICE files of typical power conversion circuits, and an Instructor's Manual with solutions to all problems. An extensive body of examples, exercises, computer assignments, and simulations make it highly suitable as a textbook for undergraduate/graduate students of engineering in electrical engineering, industrial engineering or renewable energy, and practicing engineers.
