- Explains the basic concepts and most important terms of power electronics
- Describes the power assemblies, control, and passive components of semiconductor power switches
- Covers the control of power electronic devices, from mathematical modeling to the analysis of the electrical processes
- Addresses pulse-width modulation, power quality control, and multilevel, modular, and multicell power converter topologies
- Discusses line-commutated and resonant converters, as well as inverters and AC converters based on completely controllable switches
- Explores cutting-edge applications of power electronics, including renewable energy production and storage, fuel cells, and electric drives
Power Electronics Basics: Operating Principles, Design, Formulas, and Applications supplies graduate students, industry professionals, researchers, and academics with a solid understanding of the underlying theory, while offering an overview of the latest achievements and development prospects in the power electronics industry.
This new text provides the most current coverage of measurement and psychometrics in a single volume. Authors W. Holmes Finch and Brian F. French first review the basics of psychometrics and measurement, before moving on to more complex topics such as equating and scaling, item response theory, standard setting, and computer adaptive testing. Also included are discussions of cutting-edge topics utilized by practitioners in the field, such as automated test development, game-based assessment, and automated test scoring. This book is ideal for use as a primary text for graduate-level psychometrics/measurement courses, as well as for researchers in need of a broad resource for understanding test theory.
Features:
- ""How it Works"" and ""Psychometrics in the Real World"" boxes break down important concepts through worked examples, and show how theory can be applied to practice.
- End-of-chapter exercises allow students to test their comprehension of the material, while suggested readings and website links provide resources for further investigation.
