A power converter is an electromechanical or electrical device that converts electrical energy from one form to a desired form. The power converter regulates the power supplied to the resistor through the use of a parallel DC-DC chopper and an unregulated rectifier. It regulates the power flow from an AC supply to the motor by properly controlling power semiconductor switches. The goal of power converter design is to increase efficiency. Controlling the power converters is crucial for ensuring the standards and requirements of the desired purpose. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of power convertors and the recent researches on them. It consists of contributions made by international experts. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with the design and control of power converters will benefit alike from this book.

A power converter refers to an electrical circuit that converts electric energy from one form to another that is optimized for a particular load. Power electronic converters have been utilized in hybrid electric systems to achieve conversions from AC to DC, DC to AC, DC to DC, and AC to AC, which enable bidirectional power flow. They are primarily composed of solid-state switches including IGBT, power MOSFET, thyristors, power BJT, and lossless components such as capacitors and inductors. Precise timing control is needed for power electronic converters and systems. Power electronic systems are power systems that have an AC or DC source of electric power. This book unravels the recent studies on the control of power electronic converters and systems. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
