Power electronics can be a difficult course for students to
understand and for professors to teach. Simplifying the process for
both, SPICE for Power Electronics and Electric Power, Third Edition
illustrates methods of integrating industry standard SPICE software
for design verification and as a theoretical laboratory bench.

Based on the author Muhammad H. Rashid s considerable experience
merging design content and SPICE into a power electronics course,
this vastly improved and updated edition focuses on helping readers
integrate the SPICE simulator with a minimum amount of time and
effort. Giving users a better understanding of the operation of a
power electronics circuit, the author explores the transient
behavior of current and voltage waveforms for each and every
circuit element at every stage. The book also includes examples of
all types of power converters, as well as circuits with linear and
nonlinear inductors.
"New in this edition:
- "Student learning outcomes (SLOs) listed at the start of each
chapter
- Changes to run on OrCAD version 9.2
- Added VPRINT1 and IPRINT1 commands and examples
- Notes that identify important concepts
- Examples illustrating EVALUE, GVALUE, ETABLE, GTABLE, ELAPLACE,
GLAPLACE, EFREQ, and GFREQ
- Mathematical relations for expected outcomes, where
appropriate
- The Fourier series of the output voltages for rectifiers and
inverters
- PSpice simulations of DC link inverters and AC voltage
controllers with PWM control
This book demonstrates techniques of executing power conversions
and ensuring the quality of the output waveforms rather than the
accurate modeling of power semiconductor devices. This approach
benefits students, enabling them to compare classroom results
obtained with simple switch models of devices. In addition, a new
chapter covers multi-level converters.
Assuming no prior knowledge of SPICE or PSpice simulation, the
text provides detailed step-by-step instructions on how to draw a
schematic of a circuit, execute simulations, and view or plot the
output results. It also includes suggestions for laboratory
experiments and design problems that can be used for student
homework assignments."
