POWER ELECTRONICS AND APPLICATIONS

This book is designed for undergraduate students of electrical engineering, this book offers a thorough understanding of the basic principles and techniques of power electronics as well as its applications.The application of power electronics is increasingly being seen in residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, aerospace, and telecommunication systems. An electrical, electronics or control systems engineer needs to understand the basic devices used in the electronic control of such systems. Power electronics has therefore become a compulsory applied engineering subject of study at undergraduate. It will also be useful to postgraduate students and practicing engineers involved in the design and applications of power electronics.It covers the following topics such as Power semiconductor devices and commutation circuits,Single phase and three phase controlled rectifiers, AC voltage controllers and Cycloconverters,DC -DC converters,Inverters and other devices.
