Fundamentals Of Electric Power Engineering

Electric power engineering has always been an integral part of electrical engineering education. Providing a unique alternative to existing books on the market, this text presents a concise and rigorous exposition of the main fundamentals of electric power engineering. Contained in a single volume, the materials can be used to teach three separate courses — electrical machines, power systems and power electronics, which are in the mainstream of the electrical engineering curriculum of most universities worldwide. The book also highlights an in-depth review of electric and magnetic circuit theory with emphasis on the topics which are most relevant to electric power engineering.

• Review of Electric and Magnetic Circuit Theory:
  • Basic Electric Circuit Theory
  • Analysis of Electric Circuits with Periodic Non-sinusoidal Sources
  • Magnetic Circuit Theory
• Power Systems:
  • Introduction to Power Systems
  • Fault Analysis
  • Transformers
  • Synchronous Generators
  • Power Flow Analysis and Stability of Power Systems
  • Induction Machines
• Power Electronics:
  • Power Semiconductor Devices
  • Rectifiers
  • Inverters
  • DC-to-DC Converters (Choppers)

• This is an artistically-designed compact reader which explains the idea of univer-cities. Prominent authors from Cambridge, Berkeley, Melbourne, and Singapore have contributed four evocative readings that have been written in a conversationally thought-provoking manner
• The challenges that universities face in this day and age are re-defined and they are not presented as pre-defined notions
