Self-Commutating Converters for High Power Applications

Explore the intricacies of power conversion with "Self-Commutating Converters for High Power Applications" by J. Arrillaga, published by John Wiley & Sons Inc in 2009. This comprehensive hardback edition spans 324 pages and delves into the critical role of self-commutating converters in high-power scenarios.

The book discusses the limitations of traditional thyristor-based Line Commutated Conversion (LCC), which restricts power controllability to two quadrant operations, particularly in applications involving very high voltage or current. With an engaging and informative style, Arrillaga invites engineers and power industry professionals to rethink established methodologies and explore advanced techniques for improved efficiency and performance. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a curious learner, this book offers valuable insights into modern power electronics and their applications.
