Abstract

This book, authored by the distinguished Professor Ned Mohan, is a seminal text in the field of power electronics, renowned for its strong emphasis on practical application and design. It serves as an invaluable resource for both students and specialists, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical principles and real-world implementation.
A key differentiator of this book is its integrated approach to the design of power converters and their control circuits, with a particular focus on switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). It provides comprehensive coverage of critical topics, including:

The selection of switching devices and gate drive circuits.
The design of high-frequency inductors and transformers.
The modeling and design of feedback controllers (both voltage-mode and peak current-mode control).

The book is meticulously structured to guide the reader from fundamental concepts to advanced applications, especially in renewable energy systems. Its 14 chapters systematically cover:

The role of power electronics in sustainable energy.
Semiconductor switching devices and power stage design.
Non-isolated SMPS operation and dynamic averaging modeling.
Feedback controller design for SMPS.
Single and three-phase diode rectifiers.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits.
Magnetic circuit concepts.
Isolated transformer-based DC power supplies.
High-frequency magnetic component design.
Soft-switching techniques for efficiency and size reduction.
& 12. AC output generation and applications of power converters.
Phase-controlled thyristor rectifiers.
Power electronic systems for utility grid applications.

A notable pedagogical feature is the use of PSpice simulations for various practical circuits, allowing students to validate theoretical relationships and gain a deeper, hands-on understanding of converter behavior. Organized for flexibility, the book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate-level courses in power electronics.
