Compiles current research into the analysis and design ofpower electronic converters for industrial applications andrenewable energy systems, presenting modern and future applicationsof power electronics systems in the field of electricalvehicles With emphasis on the importance and long-term viability of PowerElectronics for Renewable Energy this book brings together thestate of the art knowledge and cutting-edge techniques in variousstages of research. The topics included are not currentlyavailable for practicing professionals and aim to enable the readerto directly apply the knowledge gained to their designs. The bookaddresses the practical issues of current and future electric andplug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and focuses primarily onpower electronics and motor drives based solutions for electricvehicle (EV) technologies. Propulsion system requirements and motorsizing for EVs is discussed, along with practical system sizingexamples. Key EV battery technologies are explained as well ascorresponding battery management issues. PHEV power systemarchitectures and advanced power electronics intensive charginginfrastructures for EVs and PHEVs are detailed. EV/PHEV interfacewith renewable energy is described, with practical examples. Thisbook explores new topics for further research needed world-wide,and defines existing challenges, concerns, and selected problemsthat comply with international trends, standards, and programs forelectric power conversion, distribution, and sustainable energydevelopment. It will lead to the advancement of the currentstate-of-the art applications of power electronics for renewableenergy, transportation, and industrial applications and will helpadd experience in the various industries and academia about theenergy conversion technology and distributed energysources. Combines state of the art global expertise to present thelatest research on power electronics and its application intransportation, renewable energy and different industrialapplications Offers an overview of existing technology and future trends,with discussion and analysis of different types of converters andcontrol techniques (power converters, high performance powerdevices, power system, high performance control system and novelapplications) Systematic explanation to provide researchers with enoughbackground and understanding to go deeper in the topics covered inthe book

Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Systems, Transportation and Industrial Applications

Maintaining a stable level of power quality in the distribution network is a growing challenge due to increased use of power electronics converters in domestic, commercial and industrial sectors. Power quality deterioration is manifested in increased losses; poor utilization of distribution systems; mal-operation of sensitive equipment and disturbances to nearby consumers, protective devices, and communication systems. However, as the energy-saving benefits will result in increased AC power processed through power electronics converters, there is a compelling need for improved understanding of mitigation techniques for power quality problems. This timely book comprehensively identifies, classifies, analyses and quantifies all associated power quality problems, including the direct integration of renewable energy sources in the distribution system, and systematically delivers mitigation techniques to overcome these problems. Key features: • Emphasis on in-depth learning of the latest topics in power quality extensively illustrated with waveforms and phasor diagrams. • Essential theory supported by solved numerical examples, review questions, and unsolved numerical problems to reinforce understanding. • Companion website contains solutions to unsolved numerical problems, providing hands-on experience. Senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering students and instructors will find this an invaluable resource for education in the field of power quality. It will also support continuing professional development for practicing engineers in distribution and transmission system operators.
