Don’t take these discussions to be comprehensive, as some of the sources and loads have a large literature attached to them rather, this material is intended to give the flavor of the sorts of environment in which power supplies often need to operate. The samples here are of course not exhaustive, but rather represent some of the (occasionally not so nice) experiences of the author in the power range under consideration you can start your own collection. To start off this book, then, examples of sources and loads, both common and less so, are presented in some detail, to give you a feel for the sorts of thing you may encounter. Unless you have spent many years designing converters, you probably don’t realize how truly diverse these two groups are-this is one of the things that makes power supply engineering far more challenging than, say, digital design. This reason is twofold: the wide variety of sources from which converters are expected to run, and the similarly wide variety of loads converters are expected to provide power to.
(Chapter 2 on topology talks about the various types.) There is an excellent reason for having many different kinds, rather than having all power supplies be mere variations of parameter values on a single type. If you are in this group, you probably already have some experience with converters, at least to the extent of realizing that there are many different kinds.
This book is targeted at designers of power supplies in the low to medium power range, roughly defined as OW to 1OkW.
