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.

Alternating current (AC) induction and synchronous machines are frequently used in variable speed drives with applications ranging from computer peripherals, robotics, and machine tools to railway traction, ship propulsion, and rolling mills. The notable impact of vector control of AC drives on most traditional and new technologies, the multitude ...
Often called the workhorse of industry, the advent of power electronics and advances in digital control are transforming the induction motor into the racehorse of industrial motion control. Now, the classic texts on induction machines are nearly three decades old, while more recent books on electric motors lack the necessary depth and detail on ...
Electric Drives presents methods of analysis, design, and practical implementation. This CD-ROM interactive/text version evaluates the advantages of motion control in variable speed applications, including lower energy consumption as well as faster and more precise transient response. Discussions include dc commutator motor drives controlled by ...
This book examines the most recent advances in linear motion electromagnetic device and system technology. Beginning with a summary of basic principles, it provides in-depth coverage of construction guidelines, performance analysis, and design criteria of linear electromagnetic energy conversion systems and devices. The book applies all theory to ...
With major recent developments in informatics technologies globally, many universities have downsized their electric power curriculum. In an era of power electronics and DSP embedded control, this book separates power electronics and control of electric machines, concisely and expertly exploring the many facets of rigor associated with electric ...
