Fundamentals of Power Electronics

This up-to-date textbook/reference provides a treatment of PWM converter steady-state and dynamic modelling, including averaged switch modelling, state-space averaging, the current-programmed mode, and the discontinuous conduction mode. Moving logically from theory to application-specific material, the book explains the fundamental principles, models, and technical requirements, allowing both students and professionals to construct working laboratory converters. In order to facilitate a concrete understanding of this material, examples on circuits and applications are introduced as well as step-by-step design techniques, mathematical problems, and real world examples.
