Emerging Power Converters for Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles

This book covers advancements of power electronic converters and their control techniques for grid integration of large-scale renewable energy sources and electrical vehicles. Major emphasis is on transformer-less direct grid integration bidirectional power transfer compensation of grid power quality issues DC system protection and grounding interaction in mixed AC/DC systems AC and DC system stability design of high-frequency high power density systems with advanced soft magnetic materials modeling and simulation of mixed AC/DC systems switching strategies for enhanced efficiency and protection and reliability for sustainable grid integration. This book is an invaluable resource for professionals active in the field of renewable energy and power conversion.Md.
