Introduction to Modern Power Electronics

Provides comprehensive coverage of the basic principles and methods of electronic power conversion and the latest developments in the field

This book defines the basic types of power conversion and control, presents the electronic converters that process power for a variety of applications, and describes the various semiconductor power switches and complimentary components and systems of the converters. This third edition updates all chapters, including new proven concepts in modern power electronics.  A new chapter on the applications of power electronics in clean energy systems is also included. New to this edition is also coverage on matrix converters and application of the Z–source in cascaded power converters.
