Reluctance Electric Machines Design And Control (Hb 2019) Hardcover

Electric energy plays a crucial role in driving material prosperity, with electric generators, excluding photovoltaic systems, being the primary means of converting mechanical energy into electrical power. Over 60% of all electrical energy is used by electric motors to perform mechanical work across various industries. This book delves into the modeling, performance, design, and control of reluctance synchronous and flux-modulation machines, developed to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. It covers both one- and three-phase reluctance synchronous motors for line-start applications and various reluctance flux-modulation motors used in pulse-width modulation converter-fed variable speed drives.
