Dcdc Converter Topologies Basic To Advanced Moschopoulos Gerry by Moschopoulos, Gerry; instant download after payment.

Power electronics is the branch of electrical engineering that is concerned with the use of power semiconductor devices and passive electrical components to convert power from one form to another. Some form of power electronic conversion is needed for almost all electrical applications as it is very rare that the electrical power source used in any particular application and the load it must supply are inherently compatible. Some sort of electrical interface between sources and loads is needed in almost all applications and power electronic converters are the necessary interfaces for these applications.
Given that the power provided by a source and that fed to a load can be either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current), power electronic converters can be classified as being one of the following four types: AC–DC converters, DC–DC converters, DC–AC converters, and AC–AC converters.
The primary focus of this book is on DC–DC converters – power electronic converters that can convert the power from a DC power source into DC power that can be used to meet the requirements of a load. Such DC–DC converters can be found in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, data servers and computer power supplies, telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, uninterruptable power supplies, electrical appliances, etc.
