POWER ELECTRONICS A FIRST COURSE, SECOND EDITION
This textbook, Power Electronics A First Course, 2nd Edition (ePub/PDF), aims to provide undergraduate electrical engineering students with a comprehensive understanding of power electronics systems. It covers various topics such as switching power-poles, switch-mode dc-dc converters, feedback controllers, diode rectifiers, power-factor-correction (PFC) circuits, switch-mode dc power supplies, soft-switching in dc-dc power converters, voltage and current requirements for power applications, thyristor converters, and the utility applications of renewable energy sources.
What sets Power Electronics A First Course 2E apart from other textbooks is its integration of both hardware experiments and simulation results. The simulation files can be accessed on the textbook’s associated website, while the hardware experiments will be available through a University of Minnesota startup at an affordable price.
In Power Electronics, A First Course: Simulations and Laboratory Implementations, 2nd Edition, readers will find detailed information on:
– The availability and characteristics of power semiconductor devices used in power electronic systems
– The operation of various converters and their feedback control concepts, demonstrated through regulated dc-dc converters
– The fundamental concepts of magnetic circuits, inductors, and transformers required for power electronics
– The challenges of hard switching and techniques for minimizing it using soft-switching in practical circuits
This textbook, Power Electronics A First Course, 2nd Edition, is suitable for junior/senior undergraduate students majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). It is also valuable for students in other engineering disciplines who want to gain a basic understanding of power electronics. Prior knowledge of electrical engineering concepts and control systems is necessary.
