Electric
Drives: An Integrative Approach |

Newly revised in 2003: Now
soft cover and media enhanced with a CD-ROM with 340 Adobe Acrobat
slides. |

|
| First, what this book is
not: it is not intended to provide a superficial
overview of topics in power systems, electric drives, and power
electronics in a single course. Rather, it provides a very
fundamental treatment of a broad range of topics, always keeping an
eye towards applications. Outdated techniques are omitted to save
time and avoid confusion. This book is based on years of research in education, with the help of many colleagues. |

|
This research
has led to: |
|
1. the
building-block approach for describing switch-mode power electronics
used in modern-day drives |
|
2. making the
space-vector theory approachable to undergraduates - as easy as
using phasors (in fact easier, by providing a physical meaning to
space-vector representations). The use of space vectors reveals the
physical basis on which ac machines operate, thus allowing a clear
understanding of how they ought to be controlled for optimum
performance. An important benefit of this approach is the continuity
between this introductory course and more advanced
mathematically-based courses. (Please see the Second Semester book.) |
