A Totally Different Outlook on Power Electronic System Analysis

Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB®

This book successfully integrates power electronics as well as systems and control. Incorporating a complete orthonormal function set very much unlike the sine-cosine functions, it introduces a blending between piecewise constant orthogonal functions and power electronic systems. It explores the background and evolution of power electronics, and discusses Walsh and related orthogonal basis functions. It develops the mathematical foundation of Walsh analysis, and first- and second-order system analyses by Walsh technique. It also describes the Walsh domain operational method and how it is applied to linear system analysis.

Introduces Theories Step by Step

While presenting the underlying principles of Walsh analysis, the authors incorporate many illustrative examples, and include a basic introduction to linear algebra and MATLAB® programs. They also examine different orthogonal piecewise constant basis functions like Haar, Walsh, slant, block pulse functions, and other related orthogonal functions along with their time scale evolution.

Anish Deb obtained his BTech in 1974 (recipient of Calcutta University silver medal), MTech in 1976 (recipient of Calcutta University gold medal and P. N. Ghosh memorial gold medal), and PhD (Tech) in 1990 from the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta, India. In 1978, he joined the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta, as Lecturer in 1983. In 1990, he became Reader (associate professor) in the same department. He has been holding the post of Professor since 1998. His research interest includes automatic control in general and application of "alternative" orthogonal functions in power electronics and systems and control. He has authored one book entitled "Triangular orthogonal functions for the analysis of continuous time systems" and published more than 65 research papers in different national and international journals and conferences.
