Principles Of Electric Machines And Power Electronics, Second Edition

Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics, Second Edition

Electric machines and power electronics are two closely related fields of engineering that deal with the conversion, control, and utilization of electrical energy. Electric machines are devices that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa, such as motors, generators, and transformers. Power electronics are devices that convert and regulate electrical power using semiconductor switches, such as diodes, transistors, and thyristors. Power electronics can be used to control the speed, torque, voltage, current, and power factor of electric machines.

Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics, Second Edition is a textbook that combines the traditional areas of electric machinery with the latest in modern control and power electronics. It is written by Paresh C. Sen, a professor of electrical engineering at Queen's University in Canada. The book covers the following topics:

The fundamental underpinnings of electromechanical energy conversion devices, such as magnetic circuits, transformers, and electromechanical forces.

The analysis and operation of various types of electric machines, such as induction machines, synchronous machines, and direct current machines.

The principles and applications of power electronic components and systems, such as rectifiers, inverters, choppers, cycloconverters, and adjustable speed drives.

The modeling and control of electric machines using power electronics, such as vector control, field-oriented control, direct torque control, and sensorless control.

The integration of electric machines and power electronics in multi-machine systems, such as microgrids, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles.

The book is designed for both students and professionals seeking a foundation in the fundamental structure of modern-day electric power systems from a technical perspective. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in electric machines, power electronics, electric drives, and renewable energy systems. It is also a useful reference for practicing engineers who want to update their knowledge and skills in this essential field.

The book is enhanced by numerous solved problems, sample examinations and test sets, and computer-based solutions assisted by MATLAB scripts. The book also includes a companion website that provides additional resources for instructors and students. The book has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest developments and trends in electric machines and power electronics. Some of the new features of the second edition are:

Expanded coverage of multi-machine systems, brushless motors and switched reluctance motors.

Updated treatment of constant flux and constant current operation of induction motors.

New material on new solid state devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and MOS-controlled thyristors (MCTs).

More examples and exercises on practical applications of electric machines and power electronics.

Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics, Second Edition is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the theory and practice of electric machines and power electronics. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the principles and applications of these important technologies that are shaping the future of electric power systems.
