Nonlinear Phenomena in Power Electronics: Bifurcations, Chaos, Control, and Applications

Soumitro Banerjee, George C. Verghese

Written for power electronics engineers and graduate students rather than research specialists, this book describes the foundations and applications of nonlinear phenomena-especially concerning the structure and behavior of attractors, bifurcations, and chaotic regimes. It outlines the theoretical perspectives underlying the analysis of major nonlinear phenomena in power electric systems. Chapters cover the dynamic models of power converters, experimental and computational techniques for investigating nonlinear phenomena, nonlinear phenomena in DC/DC converters, and nonlinear control and the control of chaos.
