Electric Machines and Drives

Publisher: Wiley
Author

This book focuses on practical applications of electric machines and drives for wind turbines and electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. It adopts a systems-level, physics-based approach that builds strong analytical foundations and prepares students for advanced control studies. Space-vector theory and induction machine operation are presented intuitively, highlighting efficient control in both motoring and generating modes.
