Von der hinteren Coverseite

Power electronics enable technology for future electrical networks by allowing integration and control of different energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and battery/storage systems, in an efficient and reliable manner. Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Conversion is a comprehensive compilation of hot and important developments from a holistic view point considering power electronics, machines, control and mechanical systems. The study of power electronics and its integration in different applications is covered and through tutorials, exercises and simulation examples identifies real time solution based models on the proposed converter and controller designs for renewable energy sources. A comprehensive chapter is devoted to explaining controller design for power electronics systems and power converters design, providing engineers and researchers in all areas of power and renewable engineering the advanced knowledge needed for power electronics of renewable energy systems all in one place.
