Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems

Discover the analytical foundations of electric machine, power electronics, electric drives, and electric power systems

In Introduction to the Analysis of Electromechanical Systems, an accomplished team of engineers delivers an accessible and robust analysis of fundamental topics in electrical systems and electrical machine modeling oriented to their control with power converters. The book begins with an introduction to the electromagnetic variables in rotatory and stationary reference frames before moving onto descriptions of electric machines.

The authors discuss direct current, round-rotor permanent-magnet alternating current, and induction machines, as well as brushless direct current and induction motor drives. Synchronous generators and various other aspects of electric power system engineering are covered as 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 Systems presents 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 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 discussions of transient stability

Perfect for researchers and industry professionals in the area 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.
