A thoroughly updated introduction to electric machines and adjustable speed drives

All machines have power requirements, and finding the right balance of economy and performance can be a challenge to engineers. Principles of Electric Machines with Power Electronic Applications provides a thorough grounding in the principles of electric machines and the closely related area of power electronics and adjustable speed drives. Designed for both students and professionals seeking a foundation in the fundamental structure of modern-day electric power systems from a technical...

This book offers an introduction to applications of fuzzy system theory to selected areas of electric power engineering. It presents theoretical background material from a practical point of view and then explores a number of applications of fuzzy systems. Most recently, there has been a tremendous surge in research and application articles on this subject. Until now though, there have been no books that put together a practical guide to the fundamentals and applications aspects. Electric Power Applications of Fuzzy Systems presents, under one cover, original contributions by authors...

Presents a foundation to the principles and practices of dynamics and stability assessment of large-scale power systems. This title focuses on the use of interconnected systems - aiming to meet the requirements of competitive and deregulated environments. It contains easy-to-follow examples of fundamental concepts and algorithmic procedures.

* Adapted and updated from the author's classic Electric Power System Design and Analysis, with new material designed for the undergraduate student and professionals new to Power Engineering* Each chapter features examples of solved problems as well as problems for students to solve on their own.
