Fundamentals Of Power Electronics With Matlab. (Computer Engineering)
Product Description Most power electronics textbooks use PSpice for the simulation of circuits, even though MATLAB is a much easier and easy to use tool. basics of Power Electronics Using MATLAB teaches students and engineers how to use MATLAB as a simulation and computational tool for power electronics. Designed as a hands-on reference, the scope of the material in the text is not as broad as other reference-style texts, thus making the material less intimidating and more attainable to the reader. Each portion of the text starts with an example based on the section material, followed by a detailed solution. A conclusion is then drawn to emphasize the "point" of the problem and finally an exercise similar to the example is presented to challenge engineers. This format provides an immediate illustration of how to use the material and an opportunity for students to apply the material on their own. The text also introduces sliding mode control (SMC) of converter circuits where the converter is treated as a variable structure system, in addition to traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control. SMC is a relatively new method of control and is a robust and attractive alternative to PWM. Engineers and students do not need to be proficient in MATLAB to work along with the text because a toolbox is provided on the companion CD-ROM that allows them to use MATLAB and obtain results immediately. The toolbox provides functions to perform power computations, waveform analysis, and power converter circuit design and simulations. About The Author Randall Shaffer (Prescott, AZ) is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He co-authored Re-inventing the Machines Curriculum which appeared in IEEE Transactions on Education. He is a member of IEEE and received his Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Dayton. Reader Reviews I found that this book is a very good primer for students at the undergrad level. The examples are fundamental as the title implies, but they are useful and the MATLAB examples provide a good intro to learning simple coding. Many times the choice of tool is not as important as the fundamentals learned. MATLAB was a good choice, and provides the student with a chance to learn both how to analyze as well as understand how the ckts work and behave. Having the ability to quickly and easily modify the ckts outside of the examples, provides a foundation from which a student can easily change the env to extend their learning beyond each example. I found this book to be one of the better intro to power electronics that I have read in the last ten years. Comment | | (Report this)
