Power Electronics Basics

This book explains the key concepts and terms of power electronics, exploring applications including renewable energy production, fuel cells, and electric drives. It describes the power assemblies, control, and passive components of semiconductor power switches. It covers the control of power electronic devices, from mathematical modeling to analysis of electrical processes. It addresses pulse-width modulation, power quality control, and multilevel, modular, and multicell power converter topologies. It also discusses line-commutated and resonant converters, as well as inverters and AC converters based on completely controllable switches.
