Author Description

This book focuses on combatting climate change through the use of power electronics as the enabling technology. The authors begin with a discussion of soft switching and resonant converters before moving on to other types of converters including matrix, multi-level, and multi-modular converters (MMCs). Multi-port VSCs in HVDC systems are also described. The book explores battery-charging applications of Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) technology as well as the use of ripple steering in integrated magnetics for residential PV interconnection. Later chapters provide information on solid-state transformers and the implementation and applications of wide bandgap devices.
