Power electronics has become one of the most essential fields in modern electrical engineering, situated at the crossroads of energy systems and electronics. Power Electronics: Fundamental Analysis and Solved Exercises is the result of several years of teaching experience and research activities in this domain. It is designed as a comprehensive learning resource primarily for undergraduate and master’s students, while also serving engineers and technicians who wish to strengthen their knowledge.

The textbook aims to provide a clear, progressive, and methodical approach to the analysis, operation, and control of power electronic converters. It is organized into seven chapters, beginning with an introduction to the field and its applications, followed by an in-depth study of the main power conversion stages: AC–DC, AC–AC, DC–DC, and DC–AC conversion. An appendix presents the essential mathematical tools and numerical methods used in signal and harmonic analysis.

Each chapter develops concepts step by step, supported by detailed mathematical derivations, explanatory diagrams, and characteristic waveforms. Numerous solved exercises enhance understanding and help readers master both theoretical foundations and practical applications, making the book suitable for coursework, teaching support, and self-study.

Power electronics, rectifiers, AC-to-AC voltage controllers, DC-to-DC converters, DC-to-AC converters, single-phase and three-phase converters, continuous conduction mode, discontinuous conduction mode, converter performance analysis.
