Book Review

Power Electronics in Renewable
Energy Systems and Smart Grid:
Technology and Applications

ast year, Wiley-IEEE Press
published Power Electronics in
Renewable Energy Systems and
Smart Grid: Technology and Applications by Prof. Bimal K. Bose, a professor emeritus at the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville, and an IEEE
Life Fellow. The book was reviewed
by Prof. Marian P. Kazmierkowski
of the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. This review was published in the December 2019 issue
of IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine. An excerpt from that magazine
article follows.
This eighth book in the series of
popular power electronics books
authored/edited by Prof. Bimal K. Bose
was released in June 2019 in the IEEE
Press Series on Power Engineering.
According to the author/editor, the idea
for the book appeared after the publication of the special issue of Proceedings of the IEEE "Power Electronics in
Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Systems" in November 2017. Prof. Bose
managed to mobilize 19 outstanding
specialists in the field of power electronics and energy systems from
around the world, who presented current issues in the 12 chapters of the

book. The authors of individual chapters systematically review the latest
technologies and provide examples of
applications to familiarize readers with
problems and solutions of modern
power electronics in renewable energy
systems and intelligent networks.
The excellent style of Prof. Bose is
apparent as each chapter begins with
a clear introduction and ends with a
constructive conclusion. Moreover,
each chapter contains an extensive
list of publications and what should

be emphasized-among them, the
most up-to-date positions. Also, a list
of abbreviations, biographies of contributors, and an index are included.
This book is a valuable tool for
graduate researchers, practicing
engineers, and scientists working in
the areas of renewable and distributed energy systems. It provides the
needed technical background for
each subject. Therefore, it is also suitable for senior undergraduate- and
master's-level students of electrical
engineering and power system faculties interested in modern power electronic energy systems.
