Control of Power Electronic Converters and Systems

A power converter refers to an electrical circuit that converts electric energy from one form to another that is optimized for a particular load. Power electronic converters have been utilized in hybrid electric systems to achieve conversions from AC to DC, DC to AC, DC to DC, and AC to AC, which enable bidirectional power flow. They are primarily composed of solid-state switches including IGBT, power MOSFET, thyristors, power BJT, and lossless components such as capacitors and inductors. P...
