This text covers the basics of emerging areas in power electronics and a broad range of topics such as power switching devices, conversion methods, analysis and techniques, and applications. Its unique approach covers the characteristics of semiconductor devices first, then discusses the applications of these devices for power conversions. Four main applications are included: flexible ac transmissions (FACTs), static switches, power supplies, dc drives, and ac drives.

N2 - The evolution of power electronics since the middle of the 20th century has largely depended on the introduction of semiconductor devices. The invention of the SCR in the late 1950s led to the expansion of the field of motor drives both DC and AC. The power MOSFET led to switch-mode power supplies and wide bandgap devices have enabled resonant converters. High-frequency transformers are at the heart of all these topologies and the need for techniques to deal with skin and proximity effects losses has become more acute. This chapter deals with all aspects of transformer design for power electronics applications.
