With its comprehensive coverage of the state of the art, this second edition of the book comrpises two volumes, and introduces the basic types of transformers and electric machines and also discusses advanced subjects in electric machines, starting from principles, to applications and case studies with ample graphical results.

The book details the modeling, performance, design, and control of reluctance synchronous and flux-modulation machines developed for low cost and high efficiency. It covers one and three phase reluctance synchronous motors in line-start applications and reluctance flux-modulation motors in pulse width modulation converter-fed variable speed driv

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.
