Book Description

0120884054 978-0120884056 August 11, 2006
Power electronics is an area of extremely important and rapidly changing technology. Technological advancements in the area contribute to performance improvement and cost reduction, with applications proliferating in industrial, commercial, residential, military and aerospace environments. This book is meant to help engineers operating in all these areas to stay up-to-date on the most recent advances in the field, as well as to be a vehicle for clarifying increasingly complex theories and mathematics. This book will be a cost-effective and convenient way for engineers to get up-to-speed on the latest trends in power electronics.


The reader will obtain the same level of informative instruction as they would if attending an IEEE course or a training session, but without ever leaving the office or living room! The author is in an excellent position to offer this instruction as he teaches many such courses.

* Self-learning advanced tutorial, falling between a traditional textbook and a professional reference.
* Almost every page features either a detailed figure or a bulleted chart, accompanied by clear descriptive explanatory text.
* The companion CD will include figures as PowerPoint presentations, so the reader can follow along on his or her home computer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Little more than a Powerpoint presentation about the subject., March 28, 2010
This review is from: Power Electronics And Motor Drives: Advances and Trends (Hardcover)
I bought the book based on the good reviews (too few, although all good, I see now), and that's what I received:
The book is constructed by using half page to show bullet-points in the style of a Powerpoint presentation, using big characters or thick-line diagrams, and below it, a paragraph with some explanations about the subject.
Unfortunately, the whole book is like this (by the way, the quality of graphics is extremely low). So, it becames really hard to read and follow the contents.
Anyway, the contents are very superficial, just generalities: do not expect to be able to design a converter, or be able to choose one, even after the huge effort of reading through it.
Please, realize that non-mathematical treatment means, in this case: non applicable, non rigorous. I should have distrusted the "non-mathematical" feature: engineers, or engineering students are supposed to be able to deal with mathematical treatments...aren't we?
There are for sure better books on Power Electronics (or just books, not a commented powerpoint, like this one).
Don't throw away your money by buying this. I don't know other books of the author, but this one is really disgusting, a full deception, feel cheated on my money...

5.0 out of 5 stars POWER ELECTRONICS AND MOTOR DRIVES - ADVANCES AND TRENDS, March 22, 2008
By 
Joao O. P. Pinto (Campo Grande, MS Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Power Electronics And Motor Drives: Advances and Trends (Hardcover)
It is such a pleasure to review the book POWER ELECTRONICS AND MOTOR DRIVES - ADVANCES AND TRENDS by Prof. Bimal Bose of the University of Tennessee. Prof. Bose has authored/edited large number (altogether seven) of books in power electronics and motor drives area which have been very popular, but this book is somewhat unique. It treats all the modern and advanced topics of power electronics (including fuzzy logic and neural networks) in integrated manner. Besides the main subject discussed in Chapters 2-11, Chapter 1 gives introduction and perspective of power electronics, and Chapter 12 discusses some questions and answers. Many example applications on converters and drives make the book very interesting.

There is no such book available in the market. The simple descriptive and non-mathematical presentation style format of the book makes the book easy to understand by professional engineers and graduate students. A CD with the PowerPoint presentation file of all the figures is included at the end, which can be used selectively for any seminar presentation on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, November 7, 2006
This review is from: Power Electronics And Motor Drives: Advances and Trends (Hardcover)
The latest book by Bimal Bose on `Power Electronics and Motor Drives' is very helpful to all practicing power electronics engineers. The book provides very useful information about the practical aspect of power electronics application. The book covers almost all aspect of power electronics including time tested thyristor converter to the latest control and converter technology in power electronics like multi-level converter, neural/fuzzy control and DSP application. It also gives useful information about application of power electronics in the area of Electric/hybrid vehicle, integration of fuel cell with power electronics, etc. The book also provides various information on motor controls and their application in the vast area of ac/dc drives. The book gives lot of information in its last chapter. The particular chapter is formatted in question-answer mode and provides past, present and future of power electronics technology including its multi disciplinary application with respect to the other emerging fields. The book is presented in unique power point format. The book is a very useful tool guide to people like me, who use power electronics in their regular professional life.
