De la contraportada

Discusses the application of mathematical and engineering tools for modeling, simulation and control oriented for energy systems, power electronics and renewable energy

This book builds on the background knowledge of electrical circuits, control of dc/dc converters and inverters, energy conversion and power electronics. The book shows readers how to apply computational methods for multi-domain simulation of energy systems and power electronics engineering problems. Each chapter has a brief introduction on the theoretical background, a description of the problems to be solved, and objectives to be achieved. Block diagrams, electrical circuits, mathematical analysis or computer code are covered. Each chapter concludes with discussions on what should be learned, suggestions for further studies and even some experimental work.

• Discusses the mathematical formulation of system equations for energy systems and power electronics aiming state-space and circuit oriented simulations
• Studies the interactions between MATLAB and Simulink models and functions with real-world implementation using microprocessors and microcontrollers
• Presents numerical integration techniques, transfer-function modeling, harmonic analysis and power quality performance assessment
• Examines existing software such as, MATLAB/Simulink, Power Systems Toolbox and PSIM to simulate power electronic circuits including the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar sources

Modeling Power Electronics and Interfacing Energy Conversion Systems serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students studying electrical engineering as well as practicing engineers interested in power electronics, power systems, power quality and alternative or renewable energy.
