The production of DC/DC converters occupies the largest percentage of the total turnover of all conversion equipment productions. The purpose of this new edition is to provide advanced DC/DC converters that are both concise and useful for engineering students and practicing professionals. It introduces more than 200 topologies of the advanced DC/DC converters originally developed by authors. All prototypes are novel approaches and great contributions in modern power engineering.

Professor Fang Lin Luo is currently working as both a professor at AnHui University, HeFei, China and the director of the Research Institute of "Renewable Energy and Power Electronics." He has held a joint position in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore since 2012. Previously, he was an associate professor with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, NTU. He received his B.Sc. Degree, First Class with Honors (magna cum laude) in Radio-Electronic Physics at the Sichuan University, Chengdu, China, and his Ph. D. Degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EE & CS) at Cambridge University, England, UK in 1986.

After his graduation from Sichuan University, he joined the Chinese Automation Research Institute of Metallurgy (CARIM), Beijing, China as a Senior Engineer. From 1981-1982, he went to the Entreprises Saunier Duval, Paris, France as a project engineer. Prof. Luo was with Hocking NDT Ltd, Allen-Bradley IAP Ltd. and Simplatroll Ltd. in England as a Senior Engineer after he received his Ph. D. Degree from Cambridge University. He is a Fellow of Cambridge Philosophical Society, and a Senior Member of IEEE. He has published 15 books and more than 300 technical papers in IEE/IET Proceedings and IEEE Transactions, and various International Conferences.

Professor Luo's present research interest is in: Power Electronics and DC & AC Motor Drives with Computerized Artificial Intelligent Control (AIC) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP); AC/DC & DC/DC & AC/AC Converters and DC/AC Inverters; Renewable Energy Systems and Electrical Vehicles. He is currently the Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and the Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. He is also the International Editor of International journal Advanced Technology of Electrical Engineering and Energy. Professor Luo was the Chief Editor of International journal Power Supply Technologies and Applications between 1998 - 2003. He is the general Chairman of both the First IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA'2006) and the Third IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA'2008).
