This book provides a circuits and systems approach to the derivation and analysis of electrical machine dynamics, presenting one generalized method for describing and understanding the behavior of all electrical machines and their drives. Using practical MATLAB®- and Simulink®-based examples from motor control, renewable energy, and transportation systems, the text shows how to model transient and steady-state behaviors and covers electrical machinery control, the generation of control signals, and the transmission of these signals to electrical machines. Each chapter features homework problems for applied learning.

This book offers a novel, comprehensive analysis of voltage-source multilevel converters and their applications. Focusing on converters with a common DC voltage source, the authors examine two case studies that include both symmetrical and asymmetrical topologies. The text provides a simple and immediate understanding of the principles of operation of voltage-source DC/AC multilevel converters and includes graphical representation of the states of power switches of universal multilevel converters. This enables readers to understand traditional topologies and also offers a powerful tool for the analysis of new topologies.
