To create high-performance and reliable control designs, however, engineers need in-depth understanding of the characteristics and operation of these topologies. \u003cstrong\u003eMultilevel Converters for Industrial Applications \u003c\/strong\u003epresents a thorough and comprehensive analysis of multilevel converters with a common DC voltage source. The book offers a novel perspective to help readers understand the principles of the operation of voltage-source multilevel converters as power processors, and their capabilities and limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an overview of medium-voltage power converters and their applications. It then analyzes the topological characteristics of the diode-clamped multilevel converter, the flying capacitor multilevel converter, and the asymmetric cascaded multilevel converter. For each topology, the authors highlight particular control issues and design trade-offs. They also develop relevant modulation and control strategies. Numerous graphical representations aid in the analysis of the topologies and are useful for beginning the analysis of new multilevel converter topologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe last two chapters of the book explore two case studies that analyze the behavior of the cascade asymmetric multilevel converter as a distribution static compensator and shunt active power filter, and the behavior of the diode-clamped topology configured as a back-to-back converter. These case studies demonstrate how to address the associated control problems with advanced control and modulation schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining recent advances, this book provides deep insight on the design of high-power multilevel converters and their applications. It is a valuable reference for anyone interested in medium-voltage power conversion, which is increasingly being used in industry and in renewable energy and distributed generation systems to improve efficiency and operation flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergio Alberto Gonzalez,Santiago Andres Verne,Maria Ines Valla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439895597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439895597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Sergio Alberto Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48622233026815,"sku":"9781439895597","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multilevel-converters-for-industrial-applications-sergio-alberto-gonzalez-9781439895597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
