Features
New to this Edition
• Features bottom-up approach rather than top-down approach - that is, after covering the devices, the converter specifications are introduced before covering the conversion techniques
• Coverage of the development of silicon-carbide (SiC) devices and averaging models of dc-dc converters
• Expanded state-of-the-art Space Vector Modulation technique
• Addition of a new chapter on Introduction to Renewable Energy, and covers the state-of-the-art techniques
