Power converters are at the heart of modern power electronics. Having reached a point of saturation, industry now seeks to optimize and standardize the performance of these technologies. This book examines the present state of medium- and high-power switching converters, the theory underlying their operation, and the various problems and solutions involved in different applications. It begins with an introduction to the field, placing the technology in its business context to highlight the current trends and issues facing the modern power engineer. The remainder of the book provides a detailed examination of three-phase power switching converters, including implementation of pulse-width-modulation algorithms.
