About Of The Book :
Electric Company in 1958. That was the beginning of a new
era of power electronics. Since then, many different types of
power semiconductor devices and conversion techniques have
been introduced.
The demand for energy, particularly in electrical forms, is
ever-increasing in order to improve the standard of living.
Power electronics helps with the efficient use of electricity,
thereby reducing power consumption. Semiconductor devices
are used as switches for power conversion or processing, as
are solid state electronics for efficient control of the amount of
power and energy flow. Higher efficiency and lower losses are
sought for devices for a range of applications, from microwave
ovens to high-voltage dc transmission. New devices and power
electronic systems are now evolving for even more efficient
control of power and energy.
Power electronics has already found an important place in
modern technology and has revolutionized control of power
and energy. As the voltage and current ratings and switching
characteristics of power semiconductor devices keep improv-
ing, the range of applications continues to expand in areas such
as lamp controls, power supplies to motion control, factory
automation, transportation, energy storage, multi-megawatt
industrial drives, and electric power transmission and dis-
tribution. The greater efficiency and tighter control features
of power electronics are becoming attractive for applications
in motion control by replacing the earlier electro-mechanical
and electronic systems. Applications in power transmission
include high-voltage dc (VHDC) converter stations, flexible
ac transmission system (FACTS), and static-var compensators.
In power distribution these include dc-to-ac conversion,
dynamic filters, frequency conversion, and Custom Power
System.
The purpose of Power Electronics Handbook second edition is to provide an up-to-date reference that is both concise and useful for engineering students and practicing professionals. It is designed to cover a wide range of topics that make up the field of power electronics in a well-organized and highly informative manner. The Handbook is a careful blend of bothtraditional topics and new advancements. Special emphasis is placed on practical applications, thus, this Handbook is not a theoretical one, but an enlightening presentation of the use fulness of the rapidly growing field of power electronics. The presentation is tutorial in nature in order to enhance the value of the book to the reader and foster a clear understanding of the material. Electric Company in 1958.
