Modeling and Control of Power Electronics Converter System for Power Quality Improvements

Modeling and Control of Power Electronics Converter Systems for Power Quality Improvements provides grounded theory for the modeling, analysis and control of different converter topologies that improve the power quality of mains. Intended for researchers and practitioners working in the field, topics include modeling equations and the state of research to improve power quality converters. By presenting control methods for different converter topologies and aspects related to multi-level inverters and specific analysis related to the AC interface of drives, the book helps users by putting a particular emphasis on different control algorithms that enhance knowledge and research work.

• Present In-depth coverage of modeling and control methods for different converter topology
• Includes a particular emphasis on different control algorithms to give readers an easier understanding
• Provides a results and discussion chapter and MATLAB simulation to support worked examples and real-life application scenarios
