Fundamentals of Power Electronics (Second Edition)

Fundamentals of Power Electronics (Second Edition) by Robert W. Erickson (Author), Dragan Maksimovic (Author). Fundamentals of Energy Electronics, Second Edition, is an up-to-date and authoritative textual content and reference e book on power electronics. This re-creation retains the unique goal and philosophy of focusing on the basic ideas, models, and technical requirements wanted for designing practical power electronic systems whereas including a wealth of latest material. Improved options of this new edition embrace: A new chapter on input filters, showing the best way to design single and multiple part filters; Major revisions of fabric on averaged change modeling, low-harmonic rectifiers, and the chapter on AC modeling of the discontinuous conduction mode; New material on tender switching, active-clamp snubbers, zero-voltage transition full-bridge converter, and auxiliary resonant commutated pole. Additionally, new sections on design of multiple-winding magnetic and resonant inverter design; Extra appendices on Computer Simulation of Converters utilizing averaged change modeling, and Middlebrook's Further Component Theorem, including four tutorial examples; and Expanded treatment of current programmed management with complete outcomes for primary converters, and far more. 

This edition consists of many new examples, illustrations, and workout routines to guide students and professionals by way of the intricacies of energy electronics design. Fundamentals of Power Electronics, Second Version, is intended for use in introductory energy electronics programs and related fields for both senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students curious about converter circuits and electronics, control methods, and magnetic and energy systems. It should even be a useful reference for professionals working in power electronics, power conversion, and analog and digital electronics.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics, by Erickson and Maksimovic, has turn into one among my new favorite reference books for DC-DC Converter design. My library is full of comparable books, however most only contain insignificant bits of knowledge, are needlessly tough, or simply plain nugatory (however a requisite in the energy engineering bookcase). The massive FPE combines one of the best of all of them, exceeding even my former favorites (these by Tater, Billings, or Pressman). Though written as a textbook with the usual exercises at the end of every chapter (and frustratingly, with no answers) it is full of practical, relevant information. It has wonderful chapters on inductors and transformers, with practical data such as inter-weaved windings for lowered leakage. It has top-of-the-line therapies of Bode plots than anybody book I have incorporates (I can now retire my outdated Valkenburg). Fortunately, it does not waste pages with ineffective Nyquist or different esoteric loop stability evaluation methods. Good index and appendix. I wish Maksimovic had included a piece on his well-known switched-capacitor circuit, even when not technically a power circuit. I extremely advocate this book for any engineer critically involved in energy electronics.

The guide is an excellent text for understanding energy electronics and energy supplies. My background is in analog circuits, microelectronics, RF, and high-voltage, and I discovered this guide very straightforward to follow and terribly thorough. The system physics in this book is a bit thin, however not a concern to me. I'd suggest Mohan's guide for an extra in-depth remedy of device physics or different machine physics texts. Having already learn half the e book, I am presently in the midst of repairing a 14kVDC power supply for a radar system and this ebook made it very simple to troubleshoot and restore an inoperative power supply. I'd highly suggest this e book for someone looking to understand the inside-workings of power provides, or energy electronics basically down to its 'nuts and bolts'.
