Linear electric actuators (LEAs) and linear electric generators (LEGs) are widely used electromagnetic devices. This book deals with LEAs that convert electric energy into controlled mechanical motion of limited travel and LEGs that transform mechanical energy into electric energy. Examples range from loudspeakers and microphones to magnetically ...
Surveying the technologies used to satisfy the world's demand for open, efficient, and clean electricity, "Variable Speed Generators" provides an in-depth examination of variable-speed generators for both stand-alone and grid-connected applications. Part of "The Electric Generators Handbook, Two-Volume Set", this work offers authoritative, tightly ...
Reluctance synchronous machines (RSMs) and drives include a multitude of machine topologies in terms of rotor, stator windings, and stator current control. Line-start (constant speed) and inverter-fed (variable speed) applications are easily achieved in a power range from a few hundred watts to megawatts. RSMs offer strong competition to ...
The modern world hungers for electricity. Traditionally, this hunger was sated with predominantly constant-speed-regulated, synchronous generators. However, new demands require the stable, quick, and efficient delivery and control offered by variable-speed generators. Surveying all of the technologies used to satisfy the world's demand for open, ...
Electric drives are everywhere, and with the looming promise of electric vehicles and renewable energy, they will become more complex and the demands on their capabilities will continue to increase. To keep up with these trends, students require hands-on knowledge and a keen understanding of the subtleties involved in the operation of modern ...
With numerous chapter problems and worked-out examples, this book presents a general introduction to electric machines, including their rating and certain economic considerations.
