Description
JOHN WILEY Instantaneous Power Theory And Applications To Power Conditioning 2Nd Edition by Hirofumi Akagi
This book covers instantaneous power theory as well as the importance of design of shunt, series, and combined shunt-series power active filters and hybrid passive-active power filters
Illustrates pioneering applications of the p-q theory to power conditioning, which highlights distinct differences from conventional theories
Explores p-q-r theory to give a new method of analyzing the different powers in a three-phase circuit
Provides exercises at the end of many chapters that are unique to the second edition
