The Principles of Electronic and Electromechanic Power Conversion: A Systems Approach (Hardcover)

A top-down approach that enables readers to master and apply core principles

Using an innovative top-down approach, this text makes it possible for readers to master and apply the principles of contemporary power electronics and electromechanic power conversion, exploring both systems and individual components. First, the text introduces the role and system context of power conversion functions. Then the authors examine the building blocks of power conversion systems, describing how the components exchange power. Lastly, readers learn the principles of static and electromechanic power conversion.

The Principles of Electronic and Electromechanic Power Conversion opens with a chapter that introduces core concepts in electrical systems and power conversion, followed by a chapter dedicated to electrical power sources and energy storage. Next, the book covers:

• Power, reactive power, and power factor
• Magnetically coupled networks
• Dynamics of rotational systems
• Power electronic converters
• DC machines
• AC machines

The text offers readers a concise treatise on the basic concepts of magnetic circuits. Its simple approach to machines makes the principles of field-oriented control and space vector theory highly accessible. In order to help readers fully grasp power electronics, the authors focus on topologies that use a series transistor and diode combination connected to a DC source, a standard building block of today’s power conversion systems. Problem sets at the end of each chapter enable readers to fully master each topic as they progress through the text.

In summary, The Principles of Electronic and Electromechanic Power Conversion provides the most up-to-date, relevant tools needed by today’s power engineers, making it an ideal undergraduate textbook as well as a self-study guide for practicing engineers.

這本書以一種創新的自上而下的方法，讓讀者能夠掌握並應用當代電力電子學和電機動力轉換的核心原理，探索系統和個別元件。首先，本書介紹了電力轉換功能的角色和系統背景。然後，作者們探討了電力轉換系統的構建模塊，描述了元件之間如何交換能量。最後，讀者將學習靜態和電機動力轉換的原理。

《電子和電機動力轉換原理》以介紹電氣系統和電力轉換的核心概念為開端，接著是一章專門介紹電力源和能量儲存。接下來，本書涵蓋了以下內容：
- 功率、無功功率和功率因數
- 磁耦合網絡
- 旋轉系統的動力學
- 電力電子轉換器
- 直流機
- 交流機

本書提供了讀者對磁性電路基本概念的簡明論述。其對機器的簡單方法使得場向控制和空間矢量理論的原理變得非常易於理解。為了幫助讀者充分掌握電力電子學，作者們專注於使用串聯的晶體管和二極管組合連接到直流源的拓撲結構，這是當今電力轉換系統的標準構建模塊。每章末尾的問題集使讀者能夠在閱讀過程中全面掌握每個主題。

總之，《電子和電機動力轉換原理》提供了當今電力工程師所需的最新、相關工具，使其成為理想的本科教材，也是實踐工程師的自學指南。
