Synopsis

The introductory chapter briefly presents the fundamental topologies and operation of power inverters. The second chapter contains a description of wavelet basis functions and sampling theory with particular reference to the switching model of inverters. Chapter three outlines the connection between the non-uniform sampling theorem and wavelet functions to develop an ideal sampling-reconstruction process to operate an inverter for obtaining its optimal performances. The scale based linearly combined basis functions are developed in chapter four in order to successfully operate single phase wavelet modulated inverters. Chapter four also contains the development of the non-dyadic type multiresolution analysis, that are responsible for sampling and recontruction of three continuous time reference modulating signals for three phase inverters. The performances of single phase wavelet modulated inverters for static, dynamic and non-linear loads are presented in chapter five, while chapter six contains the simulation and experimental performances of three phase wavelet modulated voltage source inverters for different loads at various operating conditions. This book presents the latest technology in the advancing power electronics field.

About this title

From the Back Cover

An authoritative guide to designing and constructing wavelet functions that accurately model complex circuits for better performance

This is the first book to provide details, analysis, development, implementation, and performances of wavelet modulated (WM) inverters, a novel technique that keeps power systems stable and minimizes energy waste while enhancing power quality and efficiency. Written by experts in the power electronics field, it provides step-by-step procedures to implement the WM technique for single- and three-phase inverters. Also presented are key sample performance results for the new WM power inverters for different load types, which demonstrate the inverters' simplicity, efficacy, and robustness.

Beginning with the fundamentals of inverter technology, the book then describes wavelet basis functions and sampling theory with particular reference to the switching model of inverters. From there, comprehensive chapters explain:

• The connection between the non-uniform sampling theorem and wavelet functions to develop an ideal sampling-reconstruction process to operate an inverter

• The development of scale-based linearly combined basis functions in order to successfully operate single-phase WM inverters

• Performances of single-phase WM inverters for static, dynamic, and non-linear loads

• The simulation and experimental performances of three-phase wavelet modulated voltage source inverters for different loads at various operating conditions

The book establishes, for the first time, a direct utilization of different concepts of the sampling theorem and signal processing in accurate modeling of the operation of single- and three-phase inverters. Figures are provided to help develop the basis of utilizing concepts of the sampling, signal processing, and wavelet theories in developing a new tool and technology for inverters. Also included are easy-to-follow mathematical derivations, as well as procedures and flowcharts to facilitate the implementation of the WM inverters. These items make this unique reference of great interest to academic researchers, industry-based researchers, and practicing engineers. It is ideally suited for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, applied signal processing, and power electronics courses.
