Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems require installation of some type of power electronics to control the flow of energy within the system. For a discussion surrounding ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

Power electronics is a key enabling technology in essentially all electronic systems and is increasingly important in the grid interface of renewable energy sources and in efficient electrical loads.

Among regulators, the simplest regulator circuit is for a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator whose topology is shown in Fig. 1. As a linear voltage regulator, its ...

I recently came across a really well thought out and technically valid paper that constructed a possible future road for power electronics. This paper 1 was solidly based on sound engineering ...
