Abstract

This introduction aims at placing the present textbook within the interdisciplinary topics related to power electronics and control systems. It offers an overview of power electronic converter roles and objectives in the context of their use as power processing elements of power systems and emphasizes the crucial role of their control. Then, the needs of analysis through modeling and simulation of switching converters are assessed. Finally, the scope and organization of the book are stated and its contents outlined.
