Electrical Machines with MATLAB: Edition 2
About this ebook
Topics include three-phase circuits, power measurement inAC circuits, magnetic circuits, transformers, and induction, synchronous, and direct-current machines. The book starts by reviewing more basic concepts, with numerous examples to clarify their application. It then explores new buzzword topics and developments in the area of electrical machine applications and electric power systems, including:
- Renewable energy
- Wind energy and related conversion
- Solar energy
- Energy storage
- The smart grid
Using International Systems (IS) units throughout, this cross-disciplinary design guide delves into commonly used vocabulary and symbols associated with electrical machinery. Several new appendices contain tools such as an extensive glossary to explain important terms. Outlining a wide range of information—and the many different ways to apply it—this book is an invaluable, multifunctional resource for students and professors, as well as practicing professionals looking to refresh and update their knowledge.
