Power Electronics and Energy Conversion Systems Volume 1 - Fundamentals and Hard-switching Converters

This unique and comprehensive five volume set (totalling 2144pp) focuses on the study of both classical and state-of-the-art power conversion electronic circuits, and their wide variety of applications in electronic equipment. It includes many recent research advancements that have been previously unpublished and that are currently impacting the industry. Each volume is organised in basic-to-sophisticated crescendo, appealing to senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering minor students and major students, researchers and designers. Each volume builds on the previous volume, with a structure that facilitates access to most complex solutions for all readers.§This volume:§Clearly summarizes DC to DC converters in a reference that is accessible for researchers and designers working with power circuits§Presents previously unpublished advancements in hard switching converters including gallium nitride transistors, VRMs for microprocessors, and interleaving for reduced electromagnetic interference§Includes the latest technology covered in senior undergraduate and graduate courses with electrical engineering (e.g. telecoms)§Companion website with PowerPoint sides
