Produktbeschreibung

This innovative approach to the fundamentals of electric powerprovides the most rigorous, comprehensive and modern treatmentavailable. To impart a thorough grounding in electric powersystems, it begins with an informative discussion on per-unitnormalizations, symmetrical components and iterative load flowcalculations. Covering important topics within the power system, such asprotection and DC transmission, this book looks at both traditionalpower plants and those used for extracting sustainable energy fromwind and sunlight. With classroom-tested material, this book also presents: * the principles of electromechanical energy conversion andmagnetic circuits; * synchronous machines - the most important generators ofelectric power; * power electronics; * induction and direct current electric motors. Homework problems with varying levels of difficulty are includedat the end of each chapter, and an online solutions manual fortutors is available. A useful Appendix contains a review ofelementary network theory. For senior undergraduate and postgraduate students studyingadvanced electric power systems as well as engineers re-training inthis area, this textbook will be an indispensable resource. It willalso benefit engineers in electronic power systems, powerelectronic systems, electric motors and generators, robotics andmechatronics. www.wiley.com/go/kirtley_electric
