Preface to Power Electronics A First Course

Position of Power Electronics in Offering Sustainable Electrical Vitality

As mentioned within the introductory chapter of this textbook, energy electronics is an enabling know-how for powering info know-how and making manufacturing unit automation possible.

As well as, energy electronics has a vital function to play in offering sustainable electrical vitality. Most scientists now consider that carbon-based fuels for vitality manufacturing contribute to local weather change, which is a critical menace going through our civilization.

In the US, the Division of Vitality experiences that roughly 40% of all of the vitality consumed is first transformed into electrical energy. Doubtlessly, the usage of electrical and plug-in hybrid automobiles, high-speed rails, and so forth might enhance this to even 60%.

Due to this fact, it’s important that we generate electrical energy from renewable sources resembling wind and photo voltaic, which at current characterize solely barely over 4%, construct the next-generation smarter and strong grid to make the most of renewable sources usually in distant places, and use electrical energy in additional energy-efficient methods.

Undoubtedly, utilizing electrical energy effectively and producing it from renewable sources are the dual pillars of sustainability, and as described on this textbook, energy digital techniques are a key to them each!

This textbook focuses on Power Digital Techniques as one of many matters in an built-in Electrical Vitality Techniques curriculum consisting of Power Electronics, Power Techniques, and Electrical Machines and Drives.

This textbook follows a top-down systems-level strategy to Power Electronics to spotlight interrelationships between these subfields inside this curriculum and is meant to cowl each the basics and sensible design in a single-semester course.

This textbook follows a building-block strategy to energy electronics that enables an in-depth dialogue of a number of essential matters which can be neglected in a standard course, for instance, designing suggestions management, power-factor-correction circuits, soft-switching, and House-Vector PWM, which is a PWM method, far superior to SinePWM, to call a couple of.

Matters on this guide are rigorously sequenced to take care of continuity and scholar curiosity all through the course. In a fast-paced course with correct scholar background, this guide may be lined from front-to-back in a single semester.

Nevertheless, the fabric is organized in such a approach that an teacher, to accommodate the scholars’ background, can both omit a complete subject or cowl it shortly to offer simply an summary utilizing the accompanying slides, with out interrupting the circulate.
