Synopsis

Mohan's Electric Machines and Drives is part of a three-book series designed for the power sequence electives on Electrical Engineering. The book focuses on power topics including advances in hybrid-electric cars and alternative energy systems, coupled with severe environmental problems associated with hydrocarbon-based fuels. The text builds off Mohan's successful MNPERE titles and adopts a systems approach.

About this title

From the Back Cover

WILEY INTRODUCES A NEW SERIES ON POWER SYSTEMS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUSTAINABLE POWER.

By Ned Mohan, University of Minnesota

Working with a number of universities, Dr. Ned Mohan has developed a forward-looking curriculum for teaching undergraduate courses in Power Systems, Power Electronics and Electric Machines and Drives. This groundbreaking new series is based on that curriculum and represent the next generation in the engineering of sustainable power. Dr. Mohan has been a leader in Electric Energy systems education and research for decades, as an author of the best-selling text/reference Power Electronics published by Wiley.

HALLMARK FEATURES OF THE SERIES

• Brief, accessible coverage designed for undergraduates and readers new to power systems engineering.
• Updated with modern application examples related to renewable energy and the 'smart grid.'
• Supplemented with a wide range of digital resources - slides, video clips, animations, and lab manuals. (For instructors)
• Builds off the author's publications in the area.
• Adopts a systems approach, which puts otherwise dry technical detail in the context of applications that motivate students and readers (hybrid cars, wind turbines, etc.)
• Briefer and more suitable for an undergraduate audience or engineers new to this area than competing titles.

ELECTRIC MACHINES AND DRIVES: A FIRST COURSE

This book focuses on Electric Machines and Drives as one of the topics in an integrated Electric Energy Systems curriculum. It follows a top-down, systems-level approach to highlight interrelationships between the sub-fields within this curriculum, and is intended to cover both the fundamentals and practical design in a single-semester course.
