FUNDAM ELECT POWER ENG (2ND ED)

The aim of the book is to provide concise and rigorous exposition of the main fundamentals of electric power engineering. The unique feature of the book is that it contains in one volume the basic material related to power systems, electric machines and power electronics and it can be used for teaching three separate courses in the area of electric power such as courses in the above respective areas. The book also contains an in-depth review of electric and magnetic circuit theory with emphasis on the topics which are most relevant to electric power engineering.

The second edition of the book contains two main additions. The first addition deals with the three-phase pulse width modulation and it is presented in the newly added Section 3.3 of Part III. The second addition is the new Part IV: Advanced Topics. This part deals with analytical solutions of eddy current problems in magnetically nonlinear conducting media in the cases of circular, elliptical and linear polarizations of magnetic fields. This part also contains a section on promising use of spintronics in power electronics.
