Pathways to a Sustainable Energy Future – serie

This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the theory and applications of alternating current (AC) electrical machines. It explores electromechanical systems, focusing on the basic concepts of electromagnetic fields and magnetic materials, delving into the governing laws and forces of magnetism. The text then transitions to a comprehensive examination of electromechanical AC machines, including AC generators, transformers, and synchronous and induction machines, with particular attention to their operation, analysis, and design. It includes a wealth of solved examples that elucidate complex principles and unsolved exercises to strengthen problem-solving prowess.Features:Offers in-depth information and study about asynchronous and synchronous machinesPresents complex electromechanical principles in an easy-to-follow mannerClarifies important ideas in electromechanics by offering several solved and unsolved examplesCovers over 150 practical examples, solved problems, and exercises to reinforce learningThis book is designed for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical engineering, renewable energy engineering, and related disciplines. It is also a practical reference for professionals working in the power systems, automation, and energy sectors.
