Power Electronics for Solar and Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Power Electronics for Solar and Wind Energy Conversion Systems is a comprehensive compilation of important developments from a holistic viewpoint that considers power electronics, machines, control and mechanical systems. The study of power electronics and its integration in different applications is covered through tutorials, exercises and simulation examples that help identify real-time, solution-based models on the proposed converter and controller designs for renewable energy sources. A comprehensive chapter is devoted to explaining controller design for power electronics systems and power converters design, providing engineers and researchers in all areas of power and renewable engineering the most advanced knowledge needed.

Dr.-Ing. Felix Rojas Lobos was born in Santiago, Chile. He received the B.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering in 2009, from the Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Chile (awarded as the best graduated student). In 2016, he obtained his doctoral degree on power electronics from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. He also accomplished a 6 months internship at the Nottingham University, England. During his career, he has worked in research projects related to Active filter for railway Applications, Matrix Converters and Multilevel converters for distribution systems, with more than 10 publications in the last 5 years. Currently he is full time Assistant Professor at the University of Santiago, Chile. He is participating in several projects related to power converters for renewable energy systems and electromobility. His research interest includes multilevel converters for power network conditioning, solid state transformers and modulation strategies for power converters.
