Power Electronics

SERIES EDITOR: Jerry Hudgins, University of Nebraska, Lincoln
This series publishes topics related to power electronics, ancillary components, packaging and integration, electric machines and their drive systems, as well as related subjects such as EMI and power quality. Each lecture develops a particular topic with the requisite introductory material and progresses to more advanced subject matter such that a comprehensive body of knowledge is encompassed. Simulation and modeling techniques and examples are included where applicable. The series is designed to meet the demands of modern engineers, technologists, and engineering managers who face the increased electrification and proliferation of power processing systems into all aspects of electrical engineering applications and must learn to design, incorporate, or maintain these systems.
