Fundamentals of Electrical Drives [With CDROM] (2007)

This user-friendly title provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of electrical drive systems. The volume details 'ideal rotating transformer' (IRTF-model), which simplifies the understanding of electrical machine principles. It also provides a presentation of dynamic generic models that cover all major electrical machine types and modulation/control components of a drive as well as dynamic and steady state analysis of transformers and electrical machines. Downloadable files contain a set of "build and play" tutorials (Simulink(R) and Caspoc), which are in the form of simulations, that can be used by the reader to enhance understanding of the theory. These simulation exercises are based on a set of generic models which help the reader visualize the physical processes that take place in a drive.
