Power electronics, which is a rapidly growing area in terms of research and
applications, uses modern electronics technology to convert electric power
from one form to another, such as ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac with a
variable output magnitude and frequency. Power electronics has many applications
in our every day life such as air-conditioners, electric cars, sub-way trains,
motor drives, renewable energy sources and power supplies for computers.

This book covers all aspects of switching devices, converter circuit topologies,
control techniques, analytical methods and some examples of their applications.
