Power Electronics, 2nd Edition by M.D. Singh, K.B. Khanchandani

Series: Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The field of electrical engineering is generally segmented into three major areas— electronics, power and control. Power electronics is a combination of these three areas. In broad terms, the function of power electronics is to process and control the electrical energy by supplying voltage and current in a form that is optimally suited to the load.

This textbook presents the basic tools for the analysis and design of power electronic circuits and provides methods and procedures suitable for a variety of power electronic applications. This text is suitable for undergraduate-level courses in power electronics and/or electrical machines and drives. It is also intended for practicing engineers who wish to gain knowledge of the recent developments in this rapidly expanding field.
