Power Electronics Handbook

Power Electronics Handbook, Fifth Edition is an expert guide to power electronics and its applications. It systematically interrogates the foundations of power electronics, power semiconductor devices, and power converters, before reviewing a constellation of modern applications. Comprehensively updated throughout, the new edition features several wholly new sections which address current practice for renewable energy storage, transmission, integration and operation, smart-grid security and intelligent energy; artificial intelligence and machine learning applications applied to power electronics; and autonomous and electric vehicles. The work is particularly aimed at practitioners and researchers undertaking any aspects of a project requiring specialist design, analysis, installation, commissioning and maintenance services. With this book in hand, engineers will be able to execute design, analysis and evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business policies and product/program requirements. The work also serves to stimulate a wide range of students and engineering professionals as they enter the emerging fields of power electronics and power processing. A fully comprehensive work addressing each aspect of power electronics in painstaking depth and methodical technical presentation in over 1500 pages Each of the 50+ contributions have been prepared by leading experts with substantial academic and professional presence and scholarship Extremely practical, offering support and guidance with detailed examples and applications for lab and field experimentation Includes new technical sections on smart-grid security and intelligent energy, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications applied to power electronics and autonomous and electric vehicles New layers of chapter level templating will aid reader pedagogy and narrative progression with common features and structural elements
