Harmonic Balance Finite Element Method: Applications in Nonlinear Electromagnetics and Power Systems

The first book applying HBFEM to practical electronic nonlinear field and circuit problems

• Examines and solves wide aspects of practical electrical and electronic nonlinear field and circuit problems presented by HBFEM
• Combines the latest research work with essential background knowledge, providing an all-encompassing reference for researchers, power engineers and students of applied electromagnetics analysis
• There are very few books dealing with the solution of nonlinear electric- power-related problems
• The contents are based on the authors’ many years’ research and industry experience; they approach the subject in a well-designed and logical way
• It is expected that HBFEM will become a more useful and practical technique over the next 5 years due to the HVDC power system, renewable energy system and Smart Grid, HF magnetic used in DC/DC converter, and Multi-pulse transformer for HVDC power supply
• HBFEM can provide effective and economic solutions to R&D product development
• Includes Matlab exercises
