Electrical energy in itself is not usable until it is converted into a tangible form of energy such as motion, light, sound, heat etc. In order to regulate these forms of energy, an effective way is to regulate the electrical energy itself and this forms the content of the subject power electronics. Power electronics refers to the practice of controlling and converting electric power by using solid state electronics. It also includes control, integration, design, and computation, of nonlinear, time-varying energy-processing electronic systems. Application of power electronics in the field of power distribution and transmission systems is attracting wide attention because of its anticipated large scale application in the future. It is literally impossible to list all the applications of power electronics today; it has penetrated almost all the fields where electrical energy is in the picture. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to power electronics. It describes in detail the uses and applications of this subject in the present scenario. It explores various topics such as power electronics converters, power electronics systems, model-based design, fuzzy control, turbine systems, grid-tied smart buildings, switched reluctance machines and devices in power electronics. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in this field. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
