Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems, Third Edition

Introducing a new edition of the popular reference on machine analysis

Now in a fully revised and expanded edition, this widely used reference on machine analysis boasts many changes designed to address the varied needs of engineers in the electric machinery, electric drives, and electric power industries. The authors draw on their own extensive research efforts, bringing all topics up to date and outlining a variety of new approaches they have developed over the past decade.

Focusing on reference frame theory that has been at the core of this work since the first edition, this volume goes a step further, introducing new material relevant to machine design along with numerous techniques for making the derivation of equations more direct and easy to use.

Coverage includes:
* Completely new chapters on winding functions and machine design that add a significant dimension not found in any other text
* A new formulation of machine equations for improving analysis and modeling of machines coupled to power electronic circuits
* Simplified techniques throughout, from the derivation of torque equations and synchronous machine analysis to the analysis of unbalanced operation
* A unique generalized approach to machine parameters identification

A first-rate resource for engineers wishing to master cutting-edge techniques for machine analysis, Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems is also a highly useful guide for students in the field.

Although the text has been well received in the past, there are numerous changes in the early chapters that will make the derivation of many of the equations more direct and understandable.  The 3rd edition will not be structured to any specific simulation language. Indeed the material will be useful for practicing engineers using any simulation language.  More importantly, the proposed text goes beyond simply how to simulate machines and, as already indicated, includes a thorough and modern treatment of reference frame theory, a host of advanced simulation and analysis techniques, an extensive discussion of parameter identification, and a treatment of machine design to complement the analysis.
