Less expensive, lighter, and smaller than its electromechanical counterparts, power electronics lie at the very heart of controlling and converting electric energy, which in turn lies at the heart of making that energy useful. From household appliances to space-faring vehicles, the applications of power electronics are virtually limitless.
Until now, however, the same could not be said for access to up-to-date reference books devoted to power electronics. Written by engineers for engineers, The Power Electronics Handbook covers the full range of relevant topics, from basic principles to cutting-edge applications. Compiled from contributions by an international panel of experts and full of illustrations, this is not a theoretical tome, but a practical and enlightening presentation of the usefulness and variety of technologies that encompass the field.
For modern and emerging applications, power electronic devices and systems must be small, efficient, lightweight, controllable, reliable, and economical. The Power Electronics Handbook is your key to understanding those devices, incorporating them into controllable circuits, and implementing those systems into applications from virtually every area of electrical engineering.
A thoroughly revised third edition of this widely praised,
bestselling textbook presents a comprehensive systems-level
perspective of electric and hybrid vehicles with emphasis on
technical aspects, mathematical relationships and basic design
guidelines. The emerging technologies of electric vehicles require
the dedication of current and future engineers, so the target
audience for the book is the young professionals and students in
engineering eager to learn about the area. The book is concise and
clear, its mathematics are kept to a necessary minimum and it
contains a well-balanced set of contents of the complex technology.
Engineers of multiple disciplines can either get a broader overview
or explore in depth a particular aspect of electric or hybrid
vehicles. Additions in the third edition include simulation-based
design analysis of electric and hybrid vehicles and their
powertrain components, particularly that of traction inverters,
electric machines and motor drives. The technology trends to
incorporate wide bandgap power electronics and reduced rare-earth
permanent magnet electric machines in the powertrain components
have been highlighted. Charging stations are a critical component
for the electric vehicle infrastructure, and hence, a chapter on
vehicle interactions with the power grid has been added. Autonomous
driving is another emerging technology, and a chapter is included
describing the autonomous driving system architecture and the
hardware and software needs for such systems. The platform has been
set in this book for system-level simulations to develop models
using various softwares used in academia and industry, such as
MATLAB (R)/Simulink, PLECS, PSIM, Motor-CAD and Altair Flux.
Examples and simulation results are provided in this edition using
these software tools. The third edition is a timely revision and
contribution to the field of electric vehicles that has reached
recently notable markets in a more and more environmentally
sensitive world.

Karl Marx's articles in the New York Daily Tribune constitute a
separate genre among his works, being originally published in
English and based on events in various countries in the world.
There is no doubt that the work Marx undertook for his Tribune
articles not only influenced his later theoretical work (one major
result being his incorporation of colonialism as a factor in the
genesis and expansion of capitalism), but also gave him an
opportunity to apply the general principles of his method of
historical materialism to the study of complex circumstances
prevalent in different parts of the world. The perception of
pre-colonial and colonial India that he put forth in the Tribune is
a classic product of such application. The sheer boldness of Marx's
explanation of India's pre-colonial 'non-history'; the remarkable
insight into the nature of colonial rule which made it so different
from all previous conquests of the country; the lucidity of the
exposition of the dialectics of colonial impact; the passionate
sympathy for the suffering of the Indians, and, at the same time,
the utterly dispassionate account of the historical course that
opened up before the country, entirely independent of the will and
consciousness of the colonial rulers themselves; all these combine
to make the Tribune set of articles a real classic on Indian
history. Iqbal Husain has established the text of Marx's articles
from the original files of the newspaper in which they appeared. He
has also collected the extracts relating to India from the
Marx-Engels correspondence during the period of the articles.
Prabhat Patnaik has written a special Appreciation of what Marx's
articles on India add to our understanding of his ideas and
approach.
