The 3rd edition of the book is intended for a one-semester course on Power Electronics and has been designed for a wide spectrum of technical users, which includes undergraduate students of Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation and allied Engineering courses.
The objectives of the book are to provide a clear explanation of the operations of all power semiconductor devices used to control the power systems and show how the devices are used in appropriate conversion circuit and electric drives. With the availability of these power switching devices, the applications of programmable processors and computers in synthesizing the control strategy to meet the conversion specifications widens the scope of power electronics.
The author has tried to cover as many applications as possible and to give sufficient information which can influence practitioners to move towards the design of programmable power systems.
