Pulsewidth Modulated DC-to-DC Power Conversion

Explore a fully updated reference for students and practitioners working with pulsewidth modulated dc-to-dc power converters and power conversion systems

The newly revised Second Edition of Pulsewidth Modulated Dc-to-Dc Power Conversion delivers a comprehensive exploration of pulsewidth modulated dc-to-dc converters for dc power distribution applications, as well as standalone operations. The book begins with discussions of the circuits, dynamics, and control of standalone PWM converters then examines the dynamic interactions, subsystem compatibility, system stability, and design strategies of dc power distribution systems.

The author balances theory with the practical aspects of dc-to-dc power conversion through the linear system theory combined with the advanced extra element theorem. The features of the second edition include new information on:

• Design strategies of PWM converters intended for dc power distribution systems, where the prior information about the source and load impedances are unknown or undefined
• Impacts of load impedance on upstream converters, including stability, loop gain characteristics, input/output impedances, and transient responses
• Impacts of source impedance on downstream converters and practical methods to avoid or minimize any detrimental effects of source impedance
• Design procedures and techniques for multi-stage parallel-module dc power distribution systems, offering stability and predictable or programmable performance metrics for all converter stages, dc links, and entire power distribution system

Ideally suited for senior undergraduate students in departments of electrical engineering, Pulsewidth Modulated Dc-to-Dc Power Conversion will also assist graduate students and practitioners of power electronics or electrical energy conversions, as well as analog or digital circuit engineers
