Since 1998 when the 1st edition of this book was published, new trends in power electronics have developed, such as the greatly increased focus on PWM rectifiers and multilevel inverters, or the widespread application of power converters in electric and hybrid vehicles and renewable energy systems. Novel and improved semiconductor power switches, such as IGCTs, have appeared on the market. The issue of electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated in power electronic systems has increased in importance in the context of the revolution in wireless communications. The Second edition of this book provides comprehensive and straightforward coverage of modern power electronics together with an extensive body of examples, exercises, computer assignments, and simulations making it highly suitable as a textbook.Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski is Professor at the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno. He has published extensively in the areas of power electronics and electric drives, maintaining fruitful collaboration with a number of universities around the world. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a member of the Industrial Power Converter Committee and Industrial Drives Committee of the IEEE Industry Applications Society, and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
