Elements of Power Electronics

By Giani Smith

Power electronics is a branch of electronics focused on applying solid-state technologies to control and convert electrical power. This field primarily encompasses two areas of application: switches and amplifiers. Ideally, switches should not dissipate power when either open or closed, while the current in amplifiers continuously varies in response to the controlled input. Power electronics underpins systems such as AC/DC converters, DC/AC converters, DC/DC converters, and AC/AC converters. Inverters, for example, are devices designed to convert DC to AC. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It provides comprehensive insights into the field of power electronics. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
