Control of Power Electronic Converters with Microgrid Applications

Discover a systematic approach to design controllers for power electronic converters and circuits

In Control of Power Electronic Converters with Microgrid Applications, distinguished academics and authors Drs. Arindam Ghosh and Firuz Zare deliver a systematic exploration of design controllers for power electronic converters and circuits. The book offers readers the knowledge necessary to effectively design intelligent control mechanisms. It covers the theoretical requirements, like advanced control theories and the analysis and conditioning of AC signals as well as controller development and control.

The authors provide readers with discussions of custom power devices, as well as both DC and AC microgrids. They also discuss the harmonic issues that are crucial in this area, as well as harmonic standardization. The book addresses a widespread lack of understanding in the control philosophy that can lead to a stable operation of converters, with a focus on the application of power electronics to power distribution systems.

Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

• A thorough introduction to controller design for different power electronic converter configurations in microgrid systems (both AC and DC)
• A presentation of emerging technology in power distribution systems to integrate different renewable energy sources
• Chapters on DC-DC converters and DC microgrids, as well as DC-AC converter modulation techniques and custom power devices, predictive control, and AC microgrids

Perfect for manufacturers of power converters, microgrid developers and installers, as well as consultants who work in this area, Control of Power Electronic Converters with Microgrid Applications is also an indispensable reference for graduate students, senior undergraduate students, and researchers seeking a one-stop resource for the design of controllers for power electronic converters and circuits.
