Electrical Machine Design


Book Description

Electrical Machine Design caters to the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical engineering and industry novices. The authors have adopted a flow chart based approach to explain the subject. This enables an in-depth understanding of the design of different types of electrical machines with an appropriate introduction to basic design considerations and the magnetic circuits involved. The book aids students to prepare for various competitive exams through objective questions, worked-out examples and review questions in increasing order of difficulty. MATLAB and C programs and Finite Element simulations using Motor Solve, featured in the text offers a profound new perspective in understanding of automated design of electrical machines.




Mathematical Models for the Design of Electrical Machines


Book Description

This book is a comprehensive set of articles reflecting the latest advances and developments in mathematical modeling and the design of electrical machines for different applications. The main models discussed are based on the: i) Maxwell–Fourier method (i.e., the formal resolution of Maxwell’s equations by using the separation of variables method and the Fourier’s series in 2-D or 3-D with a quasi-Cartesian or polar coordinate system); ii) electrical, thermal and magnetic equivalent circuit; iii) hybrid model. In these different papers, the numerical method and the experimental tests have been used as comparisons or validations.
