Understanding Power Electronics via Simulations (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces Power Electronics by emphasizing computer simulation using the Python programming language. It is primarily a senior undergraduate text but can also be used for a post-graduate course on DC-DC switch power mode converters. It is also a reference for practicing engineers.

Theoretical analysis of the circuits and approximate calculations precede the simulations, and the reader is taken by hand through the numerical analysis. Finally, when the programs are presented, they are simple and easy to understand. Python is a computational language that is easy to learn and has the libraries necessary for simulations.

The author has observed that students' interest in Power Electronics is enhanced when they learn to simulate the circuits without depending on a general-purpose program. This book encourages the reader to run the programs and perform numerical experiments. Quite a few simulations in the later chapters have been left as exercises for the reader. Many feedback control issues have been extensively discussed in the chapter on non-isolated DC-DC converters.

Autorenporträt

S. Raghuram Naidu received the Bachelor's and Master's diplomas from IIT Madras, India in 1966, and IISc Bangalore, India in 1970. He earned the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Liverpool, UK in 1975. He was a Visiting Post-doctoral Fellow with the University of British Columbia, Canada during 1986-1988 and a Visiting Scientist with the University of Wisconsin, USA during 2000-2001. Following graduation, he practiced briefly as an engineer in Madras, India. He became a Professor of Electrical Engineering with the Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil in 1975 and remained there until retirement in 2015. During his tenure as professor, he lectured and researched in several areas of Electrical Power Engineering, such as: High Voltage Measurements, Electrical Insulation, Magnetism, Power System Transients, Power Electronics and Power Quality.
