Klappentext This book presents the latest cutting-edge technology in high-power converters and medium voltage drives, and provides a complete analysis of various converter topologies, modulation techniques, practical drive configurations, and advanced control schemes.With technology advancements in semiconductor devices, high-power AC drives in a megawatt range are increasingly used in industries to conserve electric energy, increase productivity, and improve product quality.Supplemented with more than 250 illustrations, this book is composed of 14 chapters classified into five parts:* Part 1, Introduction, offers an overview of high-power drives, including market analysis, drive system requirements, industrial applications, and semi-conductor devices* Part 2, Multipulse Diode and SCR Rectifiers, examines various multipulse rectifiers, which are widely used in high-power drives as front-end converters* Part 3, Multilevel Voltage Source Converters, investigates a variety of state-of-the-art high-power voltage source converters and modulation schemes* Part 4, PWM Current Source Converters, discusses both current source inverters and current source rectifiers* Part 5, High-Power AC Drives, features three chapters that thoroughly explore industrial drive systems and their control schemesTaking a hands-on approach, the author illustrates key concepts with simulations and experiments. Practical problems, along with accompanying solutions, are presented to help readers tackle real-world issues. It is a highly practical reference for academic researchers and engineers. Its liberal use of pedagogical aides also makes it an excellent graduate-level textbook.
