A comprehensive treatment of the subject of power electronics is provided in this book. It deals with the principles of operation of various thyristorised power controllers systematically, and explains the important basic concepts for a beginner. For advanced readers and practising engineers it covers many topics such as static reactive power compensation, power factor control, current source inverter, time-sharing inverter, multiphase chopper and harmonic control in PWM inverters.

This text, intended for the students pursuing postgraduate programmes in Electrical Engineering, focuses special attention on the implications of reactive power in voltage stability of transmission systems. The basic concepts of power system stability and other operational aspects have been discussed. Both the advanced and the practical aspects have been highlighted. Modern concepts and applications, theoretical as well as simulated study, have been presented wherever necessary. In brief, the text presents a complete overview of the research and engineering aspects of the problem of stability, suitable both for academics and practising engineers, along with a brief historical review of the concerned topics. In some instances the authors have included some of their own research results while maintaining the uniformity of overall treatment of the book. The text is replete with examples and is backed up by analytical derivations and physical interpretations, wherever considered necessary.

An introductory text, Electricity and Electronics Fundamentals, delineates key concepts in electricity using a simplified approach that enhances learning. Mathematical calculations are kept to the very minimum and concepts are demonstrated through application examples and illustrations. The books span of topics includes vital information on direct current electronics, alternating current electricity and semiconductor devices as well as electronic circuits, digital electronics, computers and microprocessors, electronic communications, and electronic power control. Supplementary appendices provide a glossary and section on electrical safety along with an explanation of soldering techniques.

This textbook lays out the fundamentals of electronic materials and devices on a level that is accessible to undergraduate engineering students with no prior coursework in electromagnetism and modern physics. The initial chapters present the basic concepts of waves and quantum mechanics, emphasizing the underlying physical concepts behind the properties of materials and the basic principles of device operation. Subsequent chapters focus on the fundamentals of electrons in materials, covering basic physical properties and conduction mechanisms in semiconductors and their use in diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits. The book also deals with a broader range of modern topics, including magnetic, spintronic, and superconducting materials and devices, optoelectronic and photonic devices, as well as the light emitting diode, solar cells, and various types of lasers. The last chapter presents a variety of materials with specific novel applications, such as dielectric materials used in electronics and photonics, liquid crystals, and organic conductors used in video displays, and superconducting devices for quantum computing. Clearly written with compelling illustrations and chapter-end problems, Rezende’s Introduction to Electronic Materials and Devices is the ideal accompaniment to any undergraduate program in electrical and computer engineering. Adjacent students specializing in physics or materials science will also benefit from the timely and extensive discussion of the advanced devices, materials, and applications that round out this engaging and approachable textbook.
