Offers a thorough understanding of existing high-frequency inverters, rectifiers and dc-dc resonant converters. Contains a rigorous in-depth analysis to aid readers in understanding how and why power converters are built as they are. Uses the fundamental-frequency component throughout the text to provide excellent insight into circuit operation and to simplify the design process. Includes graphical representations of various characteristics as well as numerous analysis and design examples.
The first book devoted exclusively to resonant energy conversion, Resonant Power Converters is a practical, systematic guide to the analysis and design of the various dc-ac resonant inverters, high-frequency rectifiers, and dc-dc resonant converters that are the building blocks of many of today's high-frequency energy processors. Designed to function as both a superior senior- to graduate-level text for electrical engineering courses and a valuable professional reference, it provides students and engineers with a solid grasp of existing high-frequency technology, while acquainting them with a number of easy-to-use tools for the analysis and design of resonant power circuits.
The most timely, comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art resonant technology available
- Design procedures for a large variety of inverters, rectifiers, and converters
- Chapters feature numerous analysis and design examples, schematics, review problems, summaries, experimental characteristics, extensive bibliographies, and more
- Solutions Manual also available
The only book focusing entirely on high-frequency power conversion, Resonant Power Converters is an indispensable resource for electrical engineering students as well as practicing engineers, researchers, and consultants.
