From the Back Cover
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
