The Editor and Contributors (mostly from Universities) carefully selected and organized power electronics in 35 Chapters that cover modern electronic devices (except IGCT); rectifiers; converters; inverters; gate drives; control methods for power converters, power supplies; capacitor charging associated electronics, photovoltaic and wind related electronics; HVDC transmission; drive types; motor drives; sensorless vector, direct-torque-control drives, fuzzy-logic, and artificial-intelligence-based drives; automotive applications of power electronics; power quality; active filters; computer simulation of power electronics and motor drives; and packaging and smart power systems.
Many informative Figures in this Handbook saved many thousands of words.
Each relatively small topic/paragraph has pertinent reference(s) for further enhancement or studies, which makes this handbook very valuable for students, engineers, educators, enthusiasts, etc.
Additional useful areas that might have been added are, for example: Hybrid filters (a combination of active and passive filters), acronym & abbreviation section (to avoid multiple spellouts in the same book), etc.
