Inhaltsangabe

This book is part of a three-book series.

Ned Mohan has been a leader in EES education and research for decades, as author of the best-selling text/reference Power Electronics.  

This book emphasizes applications of electric machines and drives that are essential for wind turbines and electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. The approach taken is unique in the following respects:

• A systems approach, where Electric Machines are covered in the context of the overall drives with applications that students can appreciate and get enthusiastic about;
• A fundamental and physics-based approach that not only teaches the analysis of electric machines and drives, but also prepares students for learning how to control them in a graduate level course;
• Use of the space-vector-theory that is made easy to understand. They are introduced in this book in such a way that students can appreciate their physical basis;
• A unique way to describe induction machines that clearly shows how they go from the motoring-mode to the generating-mode, for example in wind and electric vehicle applications, and how they ought to be controlled for the most efficient operation.

WILEY INTRODUCES A NEW SERIES ON POWER SYSTEMS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLE POWER.

By Ned Mohan, University of Minnesota

Working with a number of universities, Dr. Ned Mohan has developed a forward-looking curriculum for teaching undergraduate courses in Power Systems, Power Electronics and Electric Machines and Drives. This groundbreaking new series is based on that curriculum and represent the next generation in the engineering of sustainable power. Dr. Mohan has been a leader in Electric Energy systems education and research for decades, as an author of the best-selling text/reference Power Electronics published by Wiley.

HALLMARK FEATURES OF THE SERIES

• Brief, accessible coverage designed for undergraduates and readers new to power systems engineering.
• Updated with modern application examples related to renewable energy and the 'smart grid.'
• Supplemented with a wide range of digital resources ? slides, video clips, animations, and lab manuals. (For instructors)
• Builds off the author's publications in the area.
• Adopts a systems approach, which puts otherwise dry technical detail in the context of applications that motivate students and readers (hybrid cars, wind turbines, etc.)
• Briefer and more suitable for an undergraduate audience or engineers new to this area than competing titles.

ELECTRIC MACHINES AND DRIVES: A FIRST COURSE

This book focuses on Electric Machines and Drives as one of the topics in an integrated Electric Energy Systems curriculum. It follows a top-down, systems-level approach to highlight interrelationships between the sub-fields within this curriculum, and is intended to cover both the fundamentals and practical design in a single-semester course.
