Power Electronics for Renewable Energy Systems, Transportation and Industrial Applications / Wiley - IEEE (ePub)

Compiles current research into the analysis and design of
power electronic converters for industrial applications and
renewable energy systems, presenting modern and future applications
of power electronics systems in the field of electrical
vehicles

With emphasis on the importance and long-term viability of Power
Electronics for Renewable Energy this book brings together the
state of the art knowledge and cutting-edge techniques in various
stages of research. The topics included are not currently
available for practicing professionals and aim to enable the reader
to directly apply the knowledge gained to their designs. The book
addresses the practical issues of current and future electric and
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and focuses primarily on
power electronics and motor drives based solutions for electric
vehicle (EV) technologies. Propulsion system requirements and motor
sizing for EVs is discussed, along with practical system sizing
examples. Key EV battery technologies are explained as well as
corresponding battery management issues. PHEV power system
architectures and advanced power electronics intensive charging
infrastructures for EVs and PHEVs are detailed. EV/PHEV interface
with renewable energy is described, with practical examples. This
book explores new topics for further research needed world-wide,
and defines existing challenges, concerns, and selected problems
that comply with international trends, standards, and programs for
electric power conversion, distribution, and sustainable energy
development. It will lead to the advancement of the current
state-of-the art applications of power electronics for renewable
energy, transportation, and industrial applications and will help
add experience in the various industries and academia about the
energy conversion technology and distributed energy
sources.
