Electric machines and power systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:6296160

In this book an analysis of a-c and d-c electric machines is presented. All aspects of machine theory and applications are covered including electronic control of a-c and d-c motors as well as the novel stepper motors. Also included are topics such as the parallel operation of synchronous generators, transient and subtransient reactances, and the dynamical behavior of the prime mover synchronous generator coupled system in preparation for the study of power systems. The important power system components (such as generators, motors, transformers, and transmissions lines) are treated too in terms of positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence components so that they may be properly represented when investigating power system performance under stressful conditions of the various faults. Suitable parameters for unbalanced operation are described and the text concludes with an extensive exposition of fault calculations protective relaying.
