Power Electronics, A First Course: Simulations and Laboratory Implementations Van Ned Mohan and Siddharth Raju is an English-language textbook aimed at professionals and students in electrical engineering. This reference work provides a comprehensive overview of power electronics in an integrated curriculum.
The book covers fundamental concepts of power electronics, including switching poles, switch-mode dc-dc converters, and feedback controllers. In addition, attention is paid to diode rectifiers, power-factor-correction (PFC) circuits, soft-switching technologies, and implementations of thyristor converters. The focus is on practical applications with hardware experiments and simulations, for which the files are available online. Hardware experiments are also offered at low cost via a University of Minnesota startup.
This study book aligns with fields such as Electronics and Communications Engineering and technologies within Electronics and Telecommunications. It is suitable for understanding complex systems and applying simulations and laboratory implementations in power electronics.
