The second edition of Reliability of Power Electronic Converter Systems has just been released, providing fresh insights into the study of reliability of power electronics used in renewable energy systems. It has been edited by top researchers in the field—Shu-hung Chung, Huai Wang, Frede Blaabjerg, and Michael Pecht—this updated edition addresses the growing need for real-time monitoring and performance tracking in power electronic systems.
Power electronic converter systems often operate in harsh conditions, which can lead to wear and potential failure. The new edition highlights how monitoring performance can identify problems early, helping to extend system life and reduce unplanned downtime.
Key topics covered in this edition include:
- Anomaly Detection and Prognostics
- DC-link Capacitors
- Lifetime Modeling and Prediction
- Reliability of Packaging
- Active Thermal Control
- Stochastic Hybrid Systems Models
- Reliability Analysis for Wind and PV Power, among others.
With updated content, this book offers a deep dive into power electronics, from device to system-level technology. It’s an essential read for researchers, engineers, and students in the field of power electronics.
The Reliability of Power Electronic Converter Systems, 2nd Edition is available now through IET. For more details, or to inquire about the book, contact Prof. Michael Pecht.
