Power Electronics, A First Course

Power Electronics, A First Course: Simulations and Laboratory Implementations, 2nd Edition, guides undergraduate engineering students through power electronic systems designed for a single course in an electric energy curriculum. The textbook establishes core principles of electrical energy conversion and dynamic control.

Coverage centers on foundational converter topologies, power semiconductor behavior, and the integration of renewable energy into power systems. The book examines switch-mode dc-dc converters to explain regulated voltage conversion and feedback control.

Intended primarily for junior- and senior-level undergraduate students in electrical and computer engineering, the text also accommodates students in broader engineering disciplines. Readers should have a baseline grasp of control systems and electrical engineering principles before beginning the material.
