Power electronics converters are devices that modify electrical power parameters, such as voltage and frequency, and convert between AC and DC. They are essential components for advanced drives in machines and vehicles, as well as for energy systems, ensuring flexibility, efficiency, reliability, and high-quality power delivery in both stationary and mobile applications.
This comprehensive two-volume reference is designed for researchers and scientists working with power electronics, drives, and energy systems; manufacturers developing advanced power electronics; utility professionals; and advanced students in related fields.
Volume 1 focuses on converters and control for drives, while Volume 2 addresses clean energy generation and power grids. Chapters cover topics including reliability, wide-bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor devices, fast-response converter topologies, matrix and multilevel converters, nonlinear dynamics, AI and machine learning applications, and robust modern control strategies. The coherent chapter structure and step-by-step explanations equip readers with practical knowledge that can be directly applied to research and design in power electronics and energy systems.
