Text presents a general approach to the development of fixed switching frequency pulse width-modulated (PWM) strategies to suit hard-switched converters. For researchers and practitioners.

From the Back Cover
An integrated and comprehensive theory of PWM
The selection of the best algorithm for optimum pulse width modulation is an important process that can result in improved converter efficiency, better load (motor) efficiency, and reduced electromagnetic interference. However, the identification of the best approach is a complex process requiring extensive mathematical manipulation.

Pulse Width Modulation for Power Converters: Principles and Practice is the first single-volume resource written to help researchers in the field attain a working knowledge of the subject. The authors bring together todays seemingly diverse approaches into a single integrated and comprehensive theory of modulation.

The book provides a generalized approach to the fundamentals of PWM, looking at:

Active switch pulse width determination
Active switch pulse placement within a switching period
Active switch pulse sequence between phase legs and across switching periods
The main benefit of this generalized concept is that once the common threads are identified, the selection of a modulation strategy for any converter topology becomes immediately clear, leaving only secondary factors, such as practical performance, cost, and difficulty of implementation to consider. Additionally, it allows the performance of any particular converter topology and PWM strategy to be quickly and easily identified without complex and time-consuming analysis. Pulse Width Modulation for Power Converters: Principles and Practice enables the reader to achieve optimum PWM results for any application.

Reviews:

This is not the type of book with practical applications. The book is rather heavy in the Math department. By page 57, one could find themselves knee deep in mathematical equations. However, this is an excellent text book about Harmonic Distortion and PWM Modulation Techniques. No designer of Rectifiers, Inverters, or Motor Controllers should be without it. This is an excellent reference book.
