For courses in Motor Controls,
Electric Machines, Power Electronics, and Electric Power. This best-selling
text employs a theoretical, practical, multidisciplinary approach to provide
introductory students with a broad understanding of modern electric power. The
scope of the book reflects the rapid changes that have occurred in power technology
over the past few years?allowing the entrance of power electronics into every
facet of industrial drives, and expanding the field to open more career
opportunities. NEW?Doubly-fed induction machine properties and behavior?For use
as a wind turbine generator to produce electricity. Pulse-width modulation
(PWM) modifications. Direct Torque Control (DTC) coverage. Wind power and the
use of turbines. The HVDC Light? method of transmitting electric power. One advantage of this
broad-based book is that knowledge gained in one sector (such as motor drives)
becomes useable in an entirely different sector (such as transmission lines).
Another important feature of my book is the simple
mathematical expressions that describe the behavior of rotating machines, transformers,
transmission lines and power electronics. Despite their simplicity, the
expressions are eminently practical and useful. They enable you to make
meaningful calculations using a pocket calculator or a favored computer
program. And all you need is a knowledge of simple algebra and elementary
trigonometry.
But the
basic principles of electric motors and transformers, the workhorses of
industry, have not changed during that time. Also, the electronic drives
described in the book have reached a stage of sophistication that can only be
improved by the development of better thyristors, transistors, IGBTs and other
switching devices. Consequently, the basic principles of electronic drives and
power systems, as described and explained in the 6th edition of Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power
Systems, will also remain essentially the same. Having said this,
the new editions have the advantage of reflecting the latest concepts that are
of lasting importance. These
fundamental observations have strongly influenced the structure and selection
of the topics in my book. The descriptive title - Electrical
Machines, Drives and Power Systems - implies three major fields of
interest. It has been my privilege to work in these fields, and to follow their
development, for over 50 years.I hope this introduction to the technical and philosophical aspects of Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power Systems will induce you to buy it, keep it, and consult it to meet your future needs.
