Download or read book Control in Power Electronics written by Marian P. Kaźmierkowski and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2002-08-20 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control in Power Electronics explores all aspects of the study and use of electronic integrated circuits for the control and conversion of electrical energy. This technology is a critical part of our energy infrastructure, and supports almost all important electrical applications and devices. Improvements in devices and advances in control concepts have led to steady improvements in power electronic applications. This is driving a tremendous expansion of their applications. Control in Power Electronics brings together a team of leading experts as contributors. This is the first book to thoroughly combine control methods and techniques for power electronic systems. The development of new semiconductor power components, new topologies of converters from one side coupled with advances in modern control theory and digital signal processors has made this book possible and presents the applications necessary for modern design engineers. The authors were originally brought together to share research and applications through the international Danfoss Professor Programme at Aalborg University in Denmark. ersonal computers would be unwieldy and inefficient without power electronic dc supplies. Portable communication devices and computers would also be impractical. High-performance lighting systems, motor controls, and a wide range of industrial controls depend on power electronics. In the near future we can expect strong growth in automotive applications, dc power supplies for communication systems, portable applications, and high-end converters. We are approaching a time when all electrical energy will be processed and controlled through power electronics somewhere in the path from generation to end use.

Download or read book Digital Power Electronics and Applications written by Fang Lin Luo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to describe the theory of Digital Power Electronics and its applications. The authors apply digital control theory to power electronics in a manner thoroughly different from the traditional, analog control scheme. In order to apply digital control theory to power electronics, the authors define a number of new parameters, including the energy factor, pumping energy, stored energy, time constant, and damping time constant. These parameters differ from traditional parameters such as the power factor, power transfer efficiency, ripple factor, and total harmonic distortion. These new parameters result in the definition of new mathematical modeling: • A zero-order-hold (ZOH) is used to simulate all AC/DC rectifiers. • A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all DC/AC inverters. • A second-order-hold (SOH) is used to simulate all DC/DC converters. • A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all AC/AC (AC/DC/AC) converters. Presents most up-to-date methods of analysis and control algorithms for developing power electronic converters and power switching circuits Provides an invaluable reference for engineers designing power converters, commercial power supplies, control systems for motor drives, active filters, etc. Presents methods of analysis not available in other books
