Dynamic Power Conversion: Unleashing the Potential of Static Converter

Dynamic Power Conversion: Unleashing the Potential of Static Converters in Electrical Energy Regulation is a comprehensive guide that explores the world of static converters and their role in converting and regulating electrical energy. It covers power semiconductor devices such as diodes thyristors transistors MOSFETs and GTOs focusing on DC/DC converters or choppers. These converters transform direct energy into constant or variable direct voltage/current. The book examines applications in speed control of DC motors medium-traction vehicles and renewable energy systems. It discusses reversible and irreversible choppers highlighting benefits like motor direction reversal and energy recuperation. Four types of converters are covered: series parallel inductive storage and capacitive storage. The coupling of unidirectional converters to create reversible systems particularly the bridge chopper is explored. Reversible current and voltage choppers known as four-quadrant choppers enable bidirectional rotation of DC machines and energy recovery during braking. The book explains their operation based on switching sequences. It covers one-quadrant and two-quadrant converter.
