Part I highlights the emerging role of power electronic apparatus in power transmission and distribution networks. It also discusses topics in modeling and simulation as pertaining to the utilization of power electronics in large power networks.
Part II presents different power electronic converter assemblies for power transmission and power quality enhancement. These are presented in conjunction with suitable models which the readers using the book for self-study need to conduct parametric analyses or as a starting point for future research.
The aim of the book is to provide a new approach to power-electronic systems, where modeling becomes an essential part of the study process. The book therefore could be used in a graduate-level course that discusses power electronic components in transmission and distribution. It will also be a valuable resource to the practicing engineers and researchers who want to develop models for emerging circuits.
