Transformers and Inductors for Power Electronics - Theory, Design and Applications

Presents a robust methodology for transformer and inductor design, incorporating relevant examples from modern power electronics Transformers and Inductors for Power Electronics - Theory, Design and Applications provides basic and applied principles of transformer and inductor design for power electronic applications. It includes both fundamental and advanced topics, and offers design guidelines and application examples. Each chapter will begin with an introduction to the area, with illustrations and photos of existing examples, the main emphasis will be on real examples many of which will be taken from proven and working designs. Covering basics of magnetic components of power electronic converters, it will provide a comprehensive reference for students and practicing engineers in transformer and inductor design Presents a rigorous approach to magnetic design with an emphasis on the fundamentals of electromagnetics. Contains topics related to magnetics circuits and components that arise in power electronics including inductors, transformers, energy conversion, converters and automotive electronics. Features a broad range of applications from modern power conversion systems including innovations in convertors for transmission from renewable sources. Includes end-of-chapter problems, worked examples in MATLAB and an accompanying website containing reference material related to the chapters in the book Ideal for Senior undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering and electrical energy systems (students would need to have completed introductory courses in electrical circuits; electrical machines and power electronics or power systems) as well as practising engineers working with power supplies and energy conversion systems who want to update their fundamental knowledge of the field.
