Download or read book Digital Power Electronics and Applications written by Fang Lin Luo and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power Electronics uses modern electronics technology to convert electric power from one form to another with a variable output magnitude and frequency. This plays a great role in our day to day lives with air conditioning, electric cars and subway trains being just few examples of this rapidly growing area. This book describes the characteristics of power switching circuits, as well as other branches in power electronics. The authors have devoted their research to characterizing power switching circuits and have conceived a new theory-Energy Factor (EF), which will help the reader to design systems and predict the conversion of power. Traditional concepts have not been adequately able to achieve this. BENEFIT TO THE READER The reader will understand the development of power switching converters and be exposed to the latest theory, methodology, calculation formulae and control algorithms in Power Electronics and Energy systems.
