Power electronics is the application of solid-state devices such as transistors, diodes, thyristors, and other semiconductor switches to control and convert electric power. It is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the design, analysis, and implementation of circuits and systems that efficiently process and deliver electrical energy.
One of the most popular and comprehensive textbooks on power electronics is Power Electronics by M.D. Singh and K.B. Khanchandani. This book covers the basic principles and techniques of power electronics, as well as the latest developments and applications in the field. It provides a balanced treatment of both theory and practice, with numerous examples, problems, and case studies.
The book is divided into four parts: Part I introduces the fundamentals of power electronics, such as power semiconductor devices, converters, inverters, choppers, cycloconverters, and AC voltage controllers. Part II covers the control aspects of power electronics, such as pulse-width modulation, harmonics, power factor correction, and feedback control. Part III deals with the applications of power electronics, such as DC and AC drives, renewable energy systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and resonant converters. Part IV discusses the emerging topics in power electronics, such as soft switching techniques, multilevel converters, matrix converters, and power quality issues.
The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical engineering, as well as practicing engineers and researchers in the field of power electronics. It is also suitable for self-study and reference by professionals who want to update their knowledge and skills in this area.
The book is available in PDF format for free download from various online sources . Alternatively, it can be purchased from the publisher's website or from other online retailers.
