Conceptual Design & Development of Traction Power Electronic Converter : From Fundamentals to Modern Applications in Electric Vehicles and Railway Syst
Other Available Formats
Overview
Traction Power Electronic Converters: Design, Control, Applications, and Emerging Technologies is a comprehensive engineering reference covering the design, control, implementation, and optimization of modern traction power converters for electric vehicles, railway systems, industrial drives, and electrified transportation.
The book provides a systematic approach to converter development, from system requirements and converter topologies to semiconductor devices, digital control, thermal management, EMC, reliability, testing, and industrial validation. It combines engineering theory with practical design methods, supported by real-world examples and professional illustrations.
Topics include PWM, SVPWM, Field-Oriented Control (FOC), silicon and wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, cooling systems, reliability engineering, simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSIM, FEA, CFD, and HIL, as well as prototype development and compliance with international standards.
The final chapters explore emerging technologies such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), AI-assisted control, digital twins, predictive maintenance, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), 800 V architectures, and sustainable engineering practices.
