Book description
This book is devoted to resonant energy conversion in power
electronics. It is a practical, systematic guide to the analysis and
design of various dc-dc resonant inverters, high-frequency rectifiers,
and dc-dc resonant converters that are building blocks of many of
today's high-frequency energy processors. Designed to function as both a
superior senior-to-graduate level textbook for electrical engineering
courses and a valuable professional reference for practicing engineers,
it provides students and engineers with a solid grasp of existing
high-frequency technology, while acquainting them with a number of
easy-to-use tools for the analysis and design of resonant power
circuits. Resonant power conversion technology is now a very hot area
and in the center of the renewable energy and energy harvesting
technologies.
