Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems

Discover theanalyticalfoundations of electric machine, power electronics, electric drives, and electric power systems InIntroduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems, an accomplished team of engineers deliversan accessible and robust analysis of fundamental topics in electrical systems and electrical machine modelingoriented to their control with power converters. The book begins with an introduction to the electromagnetic variables in rotatory and stationary reference frames before moving ontodescriptions ofelectric machines. The authors discuss direct current, round-rotor permanent-magnet alternating current, and induction machines, as well as brushless direct currentand induction motor drives. Synchronous generators and various other aspects of electric power system engineering are coveredas well, showing readers how to describe the behavior of electromagnetic variables and how to approach their control with modern power converters. Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systemspresents analysis techniques at an introductory level and at sufficient detail to be useful as a prerequisite for higher level courses. It also offers supplementary materials in the form of online animations and videos to illustrate the concepts contained within. Readers will also enjoy: A thorough introduction tobasic system analysis, including phasor analysis, power calculations, elementary magnetic circuits, stationary coupled circuits, and two- and three-phase systems Comprehensive explorations of the basics of electric machine analysisand power electronics, including switching-circuit fundamentals, conversion, and electromagnetic force and torque Practical discussions of power systems, including three-phase transformer connections,synchronous generators, reactive power and power factor correction, and discussions of transient stability Perfect forresearchers and industry professionals in the area of power and electric drives,Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systemswill also earn its place in the libraries ofsenior undergraduate and graduatestudents and professorsin these fields.
