Following a device-centric approach, this book covers power electronic applications, semiconductor physics, materials science, application engineering, and key technologies such as MOSFET, IGBT and WBG.
Book Synopsis
Power devices are key to modern power systems, performing essential functions such as inverting and changing voltages, buffering and switching. The increasing complexity of power systems, with distributed renewable generation on the rise, is posing challenges to these devices. In recent years, a number of new devices has emerged, including wide bandgap devices. They all have their advantages and weaknesses in certain applications.
The book addresses power device utilization issues, especially at the design level, by bridging the gap between semiconductor theory and power electronic applications. Semiconductor physics needs to be conjugated with material science and applications engineering.
