Book description

Drawing on the author's 30 years of experience at General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation, and 15 years of teaching, this text covers the entire scope of electrical power and power electronic systems in one volume. Throughout, its focus is on topics that are directly relevant in the daily work of power engineers. The first part looks at how electrical power is generated, distributed, and utilized. The second part delves into power electronics switches, converters, motor drives, quality-of-power issues, and power converter cooling.
