• Model Predictive Control of High Power Converters and Industrial Drives

    Autor: Tobias Geyer

    Inhalt: In this original book on model predictive control (MPC) for power electronics, the focus is put on high-power applications with multilevel converters operating at switching frequencies well below 1 kHz, such as medium-voltage drives and modular multi-level converters.

    Consisting of two main parts, the first offers a detailed review of three-phase power electronics, electrical machines, carrier-based pulse width modulation, optimized pulse patterns, state-of-the art converter control methods and the principle of MPC. The second part is an in-depth treatment of MPC methods that fully exploit the performance potential of high-power converters. These control methods combine the fast control responses of deadbeat control with the optimal steady-state performance of optimized pulse patterns by resolving the antagonism between the two.

    MPC is expected to evolve into the control method of choice for power electronic systems operating at low pulse numbers with multiple coupled variables and tight operating constraints it. Model Predictive Control of High Power Converters and Industrial Drives will enable to reader to learn how to increase the power capability of the converter, lower the current distortions, reduce the filter size, achieve very fast transient responses and ensure the reliable operation within safe operating area constraints.

    Targeted at power electronic practitioners working on control-related aspects as well as control engineers, the material is intuitively accessible, and the mathematical formulations are augmented by illustrations, simple examples and a book companion website featuring animations. Readers benefit from a concise and comprehensive treatment of MPC for industrial power electronics, enabling them to understand, implement and advance the field of high-performance MPC schemes.

  • Halbleiter-Leistungsbauelemente: Physik, Eigenschaften, Zuverlässigkeit

    Autor: Josef Lutz 

    Inhalt: Halbleiter-Leistungsbauelemente sind das Kernstück der Leistungselektronik. Sie bestimmen die Leistungsfähigkeit, sie machen neuartige und verlustarme Schaltungen erst möglich. Da für deren Anwendung nicht nur die Vorgänge im Halbleiter, sondern auch die thermischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften wesentlich sind, beinhaltet die Behandlung der Halbleiter-Leistungsbauelemente auch die Aufbau- und Verbindungstechnik. Das Buch geht auf die physikalischen Grundlagen ein, behandelt die Herstellungstechnologie, geht auf einzelne Bauelemente wie Dioden, Transistoren, Thyristoren,  MOS-Transistoren und IGBTs detailliert ein. Aufbau- und Verbindungstechnik sowie thermomechanische Probleme werden behandelt und die bekannten Zerstörungsmechanismen und Störungseffekte einzelner Bauarten werden beschrieben. Für den Systementwurf werden leistungselektronische Systeme als Ganzes betrachtet.

  • Leistungselektronische Bauelemente

    Autor: Dierk Schröder 

    Inhalt: Die große Resonanz auf die erste Auflage von "Elektrische Antriebe 3 - Leistungselektronische Bauelemente" hat eine Neuauflage erfordert. Der Grundsatz des Buches, Leistungs-Halbleiter auf der Basis halbleiterphysikalischer Grundlagen zu verstehen und nicht nur phänomenologisch zu beschreiben, ist auch in dieser zweiten Auflage beibehalten worden. Allerdings hat der immense technologische Fortschritt wesentliche Überarbeitungen und Erweiterungen erfordert. Es wurden deshalb nicht nur die vorhandenen Kapitel aktualisiert und zum Teil erheblich erweitert, sondern um die folgenden zwei neuen Kapitel "Aufbau- und Verbindungstechniken in der Leistungselektronik" sowie die "physikalische Modellbildung von Leistungshalbleitern" ergänzt. Damit liegt ein hochmodernes Werk vor, das eine umfangreiche Basis für den fundierten Einstieg in die Leistungselektronik bietet.

  • Energy Storage: Systems and Components

    Autor: Alfred Rufer 

    Inhalt: This book will provide the technical community with an overview of the development of new solutions and products that address key topics, including electric/hybrid vehicles, ultrafast battery charging, smart grids, renewable energy (e.g., solar and wind), peak shaving, and reduction of energy consumption. The needs for storage discussed are within the context of changes between the centralized power generation of today and the distributed utility of tomorrow, including the integration of renewable energy sources.  

    Throughout the book, methods for quantitative and qualitative comparison of energy storage means are presented through their energy capacity as well as through their power capability for different applications. The definitions and symbols for energy density and power density are given and relate to the volume and weight of a given system or component. A relatively underdeveloped concept that is crucial to this text is known as the theory of Ragone plots. This theory makes possible the evaluation of the real amount of energy that can possibly release out of a given system, with respect to the level of power dependency chosen for the discharge process. 

    From systems using electrochemical transformations, to classical battery energy storage elements and so-called flow batteries, to fuel cells and hydrogen storage, this book further investigates storage systems based on physical principles (e.g., gravitational potential forces, air compression, and rotational kinetic energy). This text also examines purely electrical systems such as superconductive magnets and capacitors. Another subject of analysis is the presentation of power electronic circuits and architectures that are needed for continuously controllable power flow to and from different storage means. For all systems described, the elementary principles of operation are given as well as the relationships for the quantified storage of energy. Finally, Energy Storage: Systems and Components contains multiple international case studies and a rich set of exercises that serve both students and practicing engineers.

  • Highly Integrated Gate Drivers for Si and GaN Power Transistors

    Achim Seidel, Bernhard Wicht

    This book explores integrated gate drivers with emphasis on new gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors, which offer fast switching along with minimum switching losses. It serves as a comprehensive, all-in-one source for gate driver IC design, written in handbook style with systematic guidelines. The authors cover the full range from fundamentals to implementation details including topics like power stages, various kinds of gate drivers (resonant, non-resonant, current-source, voltage-source), gate drive schemes, driver supply, gate loop, gate driver power efficiency and comparison silicon versus GaN transistors. Solutions are presented on the system and circuit level for highly integrated gate drivers. Coverage includes miniaturization by higher integration of subfunctions onto the IC (buffer capacitors), as well as more efficient switching by a multi-level approach, which also improves robustness in case of extremely fast switching transitions. The discussion also includes a concept for robust operation in the highly relevant case that the gate driver is placed in distance to the power transistor. All results are widely applicable to achieve highly compact, energy efficient, and cost-effective power electronics solutions.​
