Böcker i Power Electronics and Applications Series-serien

Power demands of medical facilities, data storage and information systems, and emergency equipment require uninterrupted, high quality power. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and active filters provide this delivery. This book compares the similarities of UPS, active filters, and unified power quality conditioners.

Covers boost type, buck type, and buck-boost type integrated topologies as well as other integrated structures. This book discusses concepts behind their operation as well specific applications. It describes various trends in power electronics around digital control based on digital signal processors.

Presents the tools necessary for the analysis and design of any type of electrical machine by integrating mathematical/numerical techniques with analytical and design methodologies. This book supplies codes for simple algorithms and reveals analytical methodologies that universally apply to any software program.

This book instills an essential knowledge of electricity and electronics required for work with renewable energy. It begins with a brief explanation of the necessary mathematics and then addresses the basics of electricity and relationships, motors and generators, transformers, and networks and distribution; tackles the key concepts associated with electronics, diodes and transistors, switching devices, and power converters; covers digital electronics from number systems and logic circuits to encoders and decoders; and explores advanced subjects such as reactive power and the operation of a transistor.

The current model for electricity generation and distribution is dominated by centralized power plants which are typically associated with combustion (coal, oil, and natural) or nuclear generation units.
