This book presents the reader, whether an electrical engineering student in power electronics
or a design engineer, some typical power converter control problems and their basic digital
solutions, based on the most widespread digital control techniques. The presentation is focused
on different applications of the same power converter topology, the half-bridge voltage source
inverter, considered both in its single- and three-phase implementation. This is chosen as
the case study because, besides being simple and well known, it allows the discussion of a
significant spectrum of the more frequently encountered digital control applications in power
electronics, fromdigital pulse width modulation(DPWM)and space vector modulation (SVM),
to inverter output current and voltage control. The book aims to serve two purposes: to give
a basic, introductory knowledge of the digital control techniques applied to power converters,
and to raise the interest for discrete time control theory, stimulating new developments in its
application to switching power converters.
