Design of Rotating Electrical Machines

By: Juha Pyrhonen
Year 2009, PDF, 538 Pages


Product Description
In one complete volume, this essential reference presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical principles and techniques of electrical machine design. This book enables you to design rotating electrical machines with its detailed step-by-step approach to machine design and thorough treatment of all existing and emerging technologies in this field.
Senior electrical engineering students and postgraduates, as well as machine designers, will find this book invaluable. In depth, it presents the following:
Machine type definitions; different synchronous, asynchronous, DC, and doubly salient reluctance machines.
An analysis of types of construction; external pole, internal pole, and radial flux machines.
The properties of rotating electrical machines, including the insulation and heat removal options.
Responding to the need for an up-to-date reference on electrical machine design, this book includes exercises with methods for tackling, and solutions to, real design problems. A supplementary website hosts two machine design examples created with MATHCAD: rotor surface magnet permanent magnet machine and squirrel cage induction machine calculations. Classroom tested material and numerous graphs are features that further make this book an excellent manual and reference to the topic.

Power Quality: VAR Compensation in Power Systems

By: R. Sastry Vedam, Mulukutla S. Sarma
Year 2008, PDF, 304 pages

Product Description
Both deregulation in the electrical supply industry and the creation of new electricity markets present electric utility companies with the challenge of becoming more efficient without compromising quality of service.
Providing new solutions for this newly deregulated paradigm, Power Quality: VAR Compensation in Power Systems presents comprehensive coverage of power quality, harmonics, and static var compensators in one single volume. The book explains how to ensure that power quality is not affected by the harmonics generated by power electronic equipment and explains how to reduce labor costs and increase reliability of supply by employing a single pole autoreclosing scheme. It also addresses how to analyze frequency response of current transformers and voltage transformers while measuring harmonics.
Based on the authors’ extensive experience in the electric supply industry, Power Quality enables engineers to meet the demands of increased loads, strengthen their transmission systems, and ensure reliable electric supply.
