This state-of-the-art handbook covers most progressive and oscillatory linear electric machines (LEMs), drives, and MAGLEVS. It discusses basic and advanced modeling, steady state, transients, control, design, and testing of linear machines and drives with numerous case studies related to representative applications. Readers get ready-to-use knowledge of the analysis, design, control, testing, and ordering of linear electric machines, drives, and Maglevs to suit best various applications from people movers to industrial transport and linear oscillatory machines (loudspeakers, plunger solenoids, compressor drive, linear generators, or automotive active dampers and electromagnetic valve actuators for ICEs).

This book explores large- and medium-power synchronous generator topologies, steady state, modeling, transients, control, design, and testing. Numerous case studies, worked-out examples, sample results, and illustrations highlight the concepts. Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decade¿s worth of progress in the field, the second edition adds coverage of high-power wind generators with fewer or no permanent magnets (PMs), PM-assisted DC-excited salient pole synchronous generators, autonomous synchronous generators¿ control, line switching parameter identification for isolated grids, synthetic back-to-back load testing with inverter supply, and more.

Alternating current (AC) induction and synchronous machines are frequently used in variable speed drives with applications ranging from computer peripherals, robotics, and machine tools to railway traction, ship propulsion, and rolling mills. This book examines the progress achieved worldwide in vector control since 1969.
