Harmonic Modeling of Voltage Source Converters using Basic Numerical Methods

Acknowledgments

While teaching and revising the drafts of this book, I have received invaluable help and feedback from my graduate students and I was very grateful. In particular, I would like to thank Miss Yi‐Chun Chen, Mr. Jing‐Tong Tsai, Mr. Jason Chang, and Mr. Perry Chang for their help on some of the code development and graph drawing. Prof. P. W. Lehn from University of Toronto is greatly appreciated for introducing harmonic modeling to me and providing insightful guidance, patient supervision, and invaluable comments during my Ph.D. studies. In fact, writing a book on harmonic modeling for voltage source converters was first suggested by him during one of the weekly research meetings at the University of Toronto.

I would also like to sincerely thank the Wiley editorial team for being super patient with me and keeping me on track and Prof. Chia‐Chi Chu from National Tsing Hua University for his encouragement on writing this book. Finally, I would like to thank my family, especially my wife Zujun for taking care of our sons, Konrad and Jeff, while I was busy writing this book.
