Power Electronics
Robert Erickson's first course in the CU Boulder power electronics specialization: analyzing step-down and step-up switched-mode converters with volt-second balance, then building steady-state equivalent circuit models that predict efficiency from inductor copper loss and conduction loss. Includes LTspice exercises.
All About Circuits - Power Electronics
Free web textbook material on solid-state power conversion, covering unregulated, linear regulated, switching, and ripple-regulated supplies alongside rectifier and thyristor circuits. Working through it gives you a working picture of how power supply stages behave before tackling formal converter analysis.
Research Roadmap on Grid-Forming Inverters
NREL technical report defining grid-forming inverter control and its role in grids dominated by inverter-based resources. Covers device and system-level control approaches, stability under low system strength, modelling and validation needs, and the open research questions.
Power Electronics
The standard university text on switch-mode power conversion, covering diode and thyristor rectifiers, dc-dc and dc-ac topologies, power semiconductor devices, magnetics, and motor drive applications. This Indian adaptation of the third edition reorganizes topic coverage and adds new material.
