Description
About the Book
"DC-DC power converters use power semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs and IGBTs as switches and passive elements such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers to convert the voltage provided by a DC source into the DC voltage required by a DC load. The source can be a battery, solar panels, fuel cells or a DC bus voltage fed by rectified AC utility voltage. DC-DC converters are needed as it is rare for a source voltage to meet the requirements of a DC load. The components of DC-DC converters can be arranged in circuit structures called topologies. There are many possible circuit topologies as there are many possible combinations of circuit elements."--Book Synopsis
DC-DC Converter TopologiesA comprehensive look at DC-DC converters and advanced power converter topologies for all skills levels
As it can be rare for source voltage to meet the requirements of a Direct Current (DC) load, DC-DC converters are essential to access service. DC-DC power converters employ power semiconductor devices (like MOSFETs and IGBTs) as switches and passive elements such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers to alter the voltage provided by a DC source into the necessary DC voltage as is required by a DC load. This source can be a battery, solar panels, fuel cells, or a DC bus voltage fed by rectified AC utility voltage. As the many components of DC-DC converters can be differently arranged into circuit structures called topologies, there are as many possible circuit topologies as there are possible combinations of circuit elements.
Focusing on DC-DC switch-mode power converters ranging from 50 W to 10kW, DC-DC Converter Topologies provides a survey of all converter topology types within this power range. General principles are described for each topology type using a representative converter as an example. Variations that can be found that differ from the example are then examined, with a helpful discussion of comparisons when relevant. A broad range of topics is covered within the book, from simple, low-power converters to complex, high-power converters and everywhere in between.
DC-DC Converter Topologies readers will also find:
- A detailed discussion of four key DC-DC converter topologies
- Description of isolated two-switch pulse-width modulated (PWM) topologies including push-pull, half-bridge, and interleaved converters
- An exploration of high-gain converters such as coupled inductors, voltage multipliers, and switched capacitor converters
This book provides the tools so that a non-expert will be equipped to deal with the vast array of DC-DC converters that presently exist. As such, DC-DC Converter Topologies is a useful reference for electrical engineers, professors, and graduate students studying in the field.
