Principles of Power Electronics John G. Kassakian, David J. Perreault, and George C. Verghese is an English-language textbook that goes deeply into the field of power electronics. This reference work is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for electrical engineering professionals who want to deepen their knowledge.
The new edition is substantially expanded and updated and covers the fundamentals of power electronics in depth. Topics such as circuits, magnetics, devices, dynamic models, and control are discussed thoroughly. In addition, the text includes current real-world examples and new topics such as SiC and GaN wide-bandgap materials, superjunction MOSFET and IGBT devices, advanced magnetics design, multi-stage and switched-capacitor converters, RF converters, and EMI.
Thanks to more than 300 new and revised end-of-chapter problems with solutions for instructors, this edition provides a solid foundation for study and practice. The book aligns in terms of content with topics within Energy Technology & Electrical Engineering and TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Power Resources.
