Fundamentals of Power Electronics

Fundamentals of Power Electronics is a textbook that systematically develops the theory and design of power converters. Its first parts cover converters in equilibrium - the principles of steady-state converter analysis, steady-state equivalent circuit modeling of losses and efficiency, switch realization, the discontinuous conduction mode, and a survey of converter circuits - followed by converter dynamics and control, including AC equivalent circuit modeling, converter transfer functions, controller design, input filter design, and current programmed control.

Later parts address magnetics (basic magnetics theory, inductor design, and transformer design), modern rectifiers and power system harmonics (power and harmonics in nonsinusoidal systems, line-commutated and pulse-width modulated rectifiers), and resonant converters (resonant conversion and soft switching). Appendices provide RMS values of common converter waveforms, converter simulation, Middlebrook's Extra Element Theorem, and magnetics design tables, making it a comprehensive reference for the field.
