With the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs) as well as the promotion and
application of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, EVs charging loads, as flexible
loads, have the potential to participate in the grid services, including peak shaving
and valley filling, frequency regulation (FR), e ...
The author of this textbook intends to consider all stages of the life cycle of the
energy resources: extraction of mineral energy resources and mastering for power
engineering renewable energy, transportation of mineral energy raw materials to the
place of consumption, the conversion of primary ene ...
Power Electronics is one of modern and key technologies in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering for green power, sustainable energy systems, and smart
grids. Especially, the transformation of existing electric power systems into smart
grids is currently a global trend. The gradual increase of dist ...
There have been many developments in the field of power electronics since
the publication of the second edition, almost five years ago. Devices have
become bigger and better - bigger silicon die, and current and voltage
ratings. However, semicond ...
December 2007, San Jose, California: It seems a long time ago.
I walked into a big networking company to head their small
Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications team. Surprisingly,
I hardly knew anything about PoE prior to that day, having been a
switching-power conversion engineer almost all my lif ...
Modern day large power systems are essentially dynamic systems with stringent
requirements of high reliability for the continuous availability of electricity.
Reliability is contingent on the power system retaining stable operation during
steady-state operation and also following disturbances. The s ...
A power semiconductor module is basically a power circuit of different
materials assembled together using hybrid technology, such as semiconduc-
tor chip attachment, wire bonding, encapsulation, etc. The materials
involved cover a wide range from insulators, conductors, and semiconduc-
tors to organ ...
The electrical power grid is often referred to as one of the most complex man-
made systems on Earth. Its importance to all aspects of our daily lives, economic
stability, and national security cannot be overstated, and the need for an updated,
secure, resilient, and smarter power grid infrastructur ...
For many years prior to the 1970s, engineers designed and built switch mode
power supplies (SMPSs) using methods based largely on intuitive and exper-
imentally derived techniques. In general, these power supplies were able to
achieve their primary goal of high-efficiency power conversion; unfortu-
...

since then, some things have changed and some have not.
Two of the things that have not changed are the desire for better
models and faster simulations. I performed the original simulations on
my “hyperfast” 133-MHz computer! At the time, ...
