Bacha S., Munteanu I., Bratcu I.A. Power Electronic Converters Modeling and Control with Case Studies

Springer-Verlag, London, 2014, 454 pages, ISBN: 978-1-4471-5477-8This work represents an advanced textbook that covers most of the aspects of power converters modeling, as well as the most widely used control approaches, selected upon their already proven effectiveness.The book offers a teaching perspective ex nihilo, beginning from the basics of electricity laws and switches’ behavior and arriving at obtaining dynamical models of converters ready to be used for control purposes. It also provides the reader with the tools for designing various types of control structures for a wide range of switching converters (with both DC and AC stages).Presentation of the theoretical approach and then of a pragmatic one in case of each modeling and control method is a particular feature of the authors’ pedagogical vision. Each chapter – except for the introductory chapters – contains at least a case study illustrating the concepts dealt with within the chapter.The book’s main audience is composed of the master students, but it remains open for all specialists in the field, from both academia and industry. The book is divided into two parts, respectively dedicated to modeling and control of power electronic converters.
