Synopses & Reviews
Due to the shortage of world energy resources, there is no time to waste in the development of renewable energy sources and energy-saving power supplies. Presenting more than 100 topologies of advanced converters, this book introduces, solves, and corrects historic problems in conversion technologies. It demonstrates the correct methods to determine the accurate solutions and provides design examples for industrial applications. The text investigates new AC/DC/AC converters which are required in wind-turbine power systems, and DC/AC/DC converters, which are necessary in solar panel power systems. The authors also cover additional applications in renewable energy systems.
Synopsis
Energy conversion techniques are key in power electronics and even more so in renewable energy source systems, which require a large number of converters. Renewable Energy Systems: Advanced Conversion Technologies and Applications describes advanced conversion technologies and provides design examples of converters and inverters for renewable energy systems--including wind turbine and solar panel energy systems.
Learn Cutting-Edge Techniques for Converters and Inverters
Setting the scene, the book begins with a review of the basics of astronomy and Earth physics. It then systematically introduces more than 200 topologies of advanced converters originally developed by the authors, including 150 updated circuits on modern conversion technologies. It also discusses recently published topologies and thoroughly analyzes new converter circuits. Novel approaches include split-capacitor and split-inductor techniques that can be applied in super-lift and other converters.
Resolve Historic Problems in Conversion Technologies
Along with offering many cutting-edge techniques, the authors resolve some historic problems, such as the accurate determination of the conduction angle of single-phase rectifiers and power factor correction. They also describe a new series--laddered multilevel inverters--that uses few devices to produce more levels, overcoming the drawbacks of the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverter and providing great scope for industrial applications.
Tap the Knowledge of Pioneers in the Field
This book is written by pioneers in advanced conversion technology who have created a large number of converters, including the world-renowned DC/DC Luo-converters and super-lift Luo-converters. Featuring numerous examples and diagrams, it guides readers in designing advanced converters for use in renewable energy systems.
