Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems

An introduction to the analytical foundations of electric machines, power electronics, electric drives, and electric power systems In Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems, an accomplished team of engineers delivers an accessible presentation of electromechanical system analysis, with a focus on electrical machine modeling oriented toward their control with power-electronic converters. The book first introduces the key concepts and electromagnetic variables in both rotating and stationary reference frames before advancing to electric machine and drive analysis. The book introduces direct current, round-rotor permanent-magnet, induction and brushless direct-current machines, introductory power electronics concepts, and an analysis of drives for brushless dc and induction motors. It concludes by presenting synchronous generators and various other aspects of electric power system engineering, showing readers how to describe the behavior of electromagnetic variables and how to approach their control with modern power-electronic converters. The text presents analysis techniques at an introductory level, but with sufficient detail to be useful as a prerequisite for higher-level courses. Readers will also benefit from: * A thorough introduction to basic 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 analysis and 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 transient stability Perfect for researchers and industry professionals in the areas of power and electric drives, Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems will also earn its place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students and professors in these fields.
