Most power electronics textbooks use PSpice for the simulation of circuits, even though MATLAB is a much easier and user-friendly tool. Â"Fundamentals of Power Electronics Using MATLABÂ" teaches students and engineers how to use MATLAB as a simulation and computational tool for power electronics. Designed as a hands-on reference, the scope of the material in the text is not as broad as other reference-style texts, thus making the material less intimidating and more attainable. Each portion of the text starts with an example based on the section material, followed by a detailed solution. A conclusion is then drawn to emphasize the "point" of the problem and finally an exercise similar to the example is presented to challenge the reader. This format provides an immediate illustration of how to use the material and an opportunity for students to apply the material on their own. Engineers and students do not need to be proficient in MATLAB to work along with the text because a toolbox is provided on the companion CD-ROM that allows them to use MATLAB and obtain results immediately. The toolbox provides functions to perform power computations, waveform analysis, and power converter circuit design and simulations.

Excellent book for an introduction or Power Electronics,
This review is from: Fundamentals Of Power Electronics With Matlab (Hardcover)
I found that this book is a very good primer for students at the undergrad level. The examples are fundamental as the title implies, but they are useful and the MATLAB examples provide a good intro to learning simple coding. Many times the choice of tool is not as important as the fundamentals learned. MATLAB was a good choice, and provides the student with a chance to learn both how to analyze as well as understand how the ckts work and behave. Having the ability to quickly and easily modify the ckts outside of the examples, provides a foundation from which a student can easily change the env to extend their learning beyond each example.
I found this book to be one of the better intro to power electronics that I have read in the last 10 years.

This review is from: Fundamentals Of Power Electronics With Matlab (Hardcover)
I regard this book as very useful to me as a Power Electronics teacher, mainly due to MatLab exercises. This is the only book I have ever read that includes Distortion Power Factor concepts, which is becoming very important nowadays.
