Electric Generators Handbook Second Edition: Two-Volume Set supplies state-of-the-art tools necessary to design validate and deploy the right power generation technologies to fulfill tomorrow's complex energy needs. The first volume Synchronous Generators 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 decades worth of progress in the field the Second Edition adds coverage of high-power wind generators with fewer or no 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. The second volume Variable Speed Generators provides extensive coverage of variable speed generators in distributed generation and renewable energy applications around the world. Numerous design and control examples illustrate the exposition. Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decades worth of progress in the field the Second Edition adds material on doubly fed induction generator control under unbalanced voltage sags and nonlinear loads interior permanent magnet claw-pole-alternator systems high power factor Vernier PM generators PM-assisted reluctance synchronous motors/generators for electric hybrid vehicles and more.
