Advanced control of power converters : techniques and MATLAB/Simulink implementation / Hasan Komurcugil, Sertac Bayhan, Ramon Guzman, Mariusz Malinowski, Haitham Abu-Rub.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Unique resource presenting advanced nonlinear control methods for power converters, plus simulation, controller design, analyses, and case studies Advanced Control of Power Converters equips readers with the latest knowledge of three control methods developed for power converters: nonlinear control methods such as sliding mode control, Lyapunov-function-based control, and model predictive control. Readers will learn about the design of each control method, and simulation case studies and results will be presented and discussed to point out the behavior of each control method in different applications. In this way, readers wishing to learn these control methods can gain insight on how to design and simulate each control method easily."-- Provided by publisher.
