An Introduction to Wavelet Modulated Inverters

Written by experts in the power electronics field, this book presents the latest technology in the advancing power electronics field and offers new ways to minimize energy waste while enhancing power quality and efficiency. Chapter coverage includes: the fundamental topologies and operation of power inverters; a description of wavelet basis functions and sampling theory; the connection between the non-uniform sampling theorem and wavelet functions to develop an ideal sampling-reconstruction process to operate an inverter for obtaining its optimal performances; scale based linearly combined basis functions; and performances of single phase wavelet modulated inverters for static, dynamic and non-linear loads. This practical book serves as a reference tool for academic researchers, practicing engineers, and graduate students.
