Power electronics, which is a rapidly growing area in terms of research and applications, uses modern electronics technology to convert electric power from one form to another, such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac with a variable output magnitude and frequency. Power electronics has many applications in our every day life such as air-conditioners, electric cars, sub-way trains, motor drives, renewable energy sources and power supplies for computers. This book covers all aspects of switching devices, converter circuit topologies, control techniques, analytical methods and some examples of their applications. * 25% new content* Reorganized and revised into 8 sections comprising 43 chapters* Coverage of numerous applications, including uninterruptable power supplies and automotive electrical systems* New content in power generation and distribution, including solar power, fuel cells, wind turbines, and flexible transmission

This is the first definitive treatment of an analytically complex type of electric power converter (cycloconverter) operating between ac sources and loads, where the output frequency can be independently controlled from the input frequency. Currently, there is much interest in applying cycloconverters to the special control of ac motors and to aircraft electrical systems; however, progress has been limited by lack of good technical information. This book provides an immeasurable service in that the author's theory is sufficiently detailed to allow accurate performance evaluation, design calculations, and cost projections. Moreover, he has culled an extensive, coherent bibliography from the scattered literature in the field. A cycloconverter of the naturally commutated type is essentially a pair of phase-controlled rectifiers connected in inverse parallel. Modulation of these converters to provide ac power at a lower frequency than the source frequency greatly complicates the analysis of their behavior. McMurray treats various effects of the modulation in theoretical detail and shows how the resulting equations can be used for accurate performance and design calculations. His analysis of the cycloconverter is based on the classical equations of a phase-controlled rectifier operating with continuous load current. The general algebraic form of the equations, which are applicable to many different circuit configurations, is retained throughout the book. It also presents in tabular and graphical form the results of numerical integration of corresponding rectifier equations, required in calculating many cycloconverter performance factors. This is the fourth monograph in the series Modern Electrical Technology, edited by Alexander Kusko.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology impacts all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computing methods, applications, philosophies, . . . , new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study papers and the reports of advanced collaborative projects. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of such new work in all aspects of industrial control for wider and rapid dissemination. The autotune method of Astrom and Hagglund had a major impact on the hardware and structure of PID process controllers. However, despite a substantial body of theoretical analysis, progress in transferring the benefits of more general self-tuning methods to industrial devices and processes has been much slower. This volume by Dr's Stephan and Keuchel shows that this type of technology transfer can be achieved and that the more advanced adaptive controllers do give performance benefits over conventional industrial (three term) controllers. The volume also shows the requirements in hardware, the need for software skills and the engineering techniques required to achieve satisfactory results. We hope that by recording their engineering know-how more researchers and industrialists will be encouraged to tap the benefits of advanced self-tuning and adaptive control methods.

A Totally Different Outlook on Power Electronic System Analysis Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB® builds a case for Walsh analysis as a powerful tool in the study of power electronic systems. It considers the application of Walsh functions in analyzing power electronic systems, and the advantages offered by Walsh domain analysis of power electronic systems. Solves Power Electronic Systems in an Unconventional Way This book successfully integrates power electronics as well as systems and control. Incorporating a complete orthonormal function set very much unlike the sine–cosine functions, it introduces a blending between piecewise constant orthogonal functions and power electronic systems. It explores the background and evolution of power electronics, and discusses Walsh and related orthogonal basis functions. It develops the mathematical foundation of Walsh analysis, and first- and second-order system analyses by Walsh technique. It also describes the Walsh domain operational method and how it is applied to linear system analysis. Introduces Theories Step by Step While presenting the underlying principles of Walsh analysis, the authors incorporate many illustrative examples, and include a basic introduction to linear algebra and MATLAB® programs. They also examine different orthogonal piecewise constant basis functions like Haar, Walsh, slant, block pulse functions, and other related orthogonal functions along with their time scale evolution. • Analyzes pulse–fed single input single output (SISO) first- and second-order systems • Considers stepwise and continuously pulse width modulated chopper systems • Describes a detailed analysis of controlled rectifier circuits • Addresses inverter circuits Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB® is written for postgraduate students, researchers, and academicians in the area of power electronics as well as systems and control.
