About this product

Product Information

This text employs a theoretical, practical, multidisciplinary approach to provide introductory students with a broad understanding of modern electric power. The scope of the book reflects the changes that have occurred in power technology, allowing the entrance of power electronics into every facet of industrial drives, and expanding the field to open more career opportunities. The new chapter on harmonics reveals how they affect the behavior of capacitors, inductors, cables, transformers, and the quality of electric power. The method involving harmonics, demonstrates for students how the harmonic content in a distorted wave can be calculated, and eliminates the mystery surrounding the topic. The chapter on the fundamental elements of power electronics has been updated and contains switching converters and pulse with modulation (PWM) techniques, and illustrates the extraordinary versatility of IGBT converters and how they can be made to generate almost any waveshape and frequency. A discussion of transmission and distribution solid state controllers covers the quality of electric power as it regards sags, swells, harmonics, and blackouts, explains for students the technologies that are being developed to control the flow of electric power electronically. The topic of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) is also looked at. The multidisciplinary approach, shows students that thermal and mechanical problems are linked with electrical apparatus and can therefore not be ignored. It emphasizes the importance of mechanics and heat along with the electrical features of equipment; industrial standards that apply to electrical equipment, familiarizes students with the importance of standards pertaining to product uniformity and dimensions, temperature rise and service life, and the observation of minimum safety measures. The practical applications presented with theory, provides students with valuable pre-job information, and makes the subject matter much more interesting with the inclusion of real, industry applications.
