Power Electronic Systems

Anish Deb obtained his BTech in 1974 (recipient of Calcutta University silver medal), MTech in 1976 (recipient of Calcutta University gold medal and P. N. Ghosh memorial gold medal), and PhD (Tech) in 1990 from the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta, India. In 1978, he joined the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta, as Lecturer in 1983. In 1990, he became Reader (associate professor) in the same department. He has been holding the post of Professor since 1998. His research interest includes automatic control in general and application of "alternative" orthogonal functions in power electronics and systems and control. He has authored one book entitled "Triangular orthogonal functions for the analysis of continuous time systems" and published more than 65 research papers in different national and international journals and conferences. Suchismita Ghoshobtained her BTech (2008) from the Calcutta Institute of Engineering and Management, West Bengal University of Technology, India, and MTech (2010) from the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta, India. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, MCKV Institute of Engineering, West Bengal University of Technology, India. She has taught courses on power electronics, basic electrical engineering, control systems, and electrical machines. Her research area includes automatic control in general and application of "alternative" orthogonal functions in systems and control. She is presently involved in research with Anish Deb and has published five research papers in international journals and national conferences.

"One of the salient features of power electronic dynamics is the switching of the waveforms involved in the phenomenon. However, time domain analysis of power electronics often uses Fourier series to represent waveforms despite its smooth nature and its difficulties to compactly represent switching signals. This book uses Walsh Series, a switching orthogonal set of functions, to more effectively represent waveforms in power electronics. The book may be the only one in the market with this philosophy."––J Jesus Rico-Melgoza, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo, Morelia, Mexico"… a remarkable job of presenting the subject in a clear and coherent manner. … My recommendation to anyone who is interested in the analysis any other system with such discontinuous phenomena: This book may guide you to the use of appropriate tools."—Ganti Prasada Rao, Member, UNESCO-EOLSS Joint Committee"… an authoritative reference for researchers and engineering professionals with an interest in the area of power electronic systems, their optimization and practical applications."—Radomir S. Stanković, Dept. of Computer science, Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Niš, Serbia"… a refreshing approach based on Walsh analysis and presents an alternate approach to Fourier series approach that is usually followed. The material presented is quite systematic. Even if one does not have any prior knowledge on the topics, the book is still very much readable. It presents a detail bottom-to-top tutorial approach in each chapter, with adequate background material in first two chapters, which I am sure will make it quite easier for the students and practicing engineers to follow the concepts effortlessly."—Radhakant Padhi, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
