[PDF] An Introduction to Electric Energy by Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi

PREFACE:The primary course on electrical power in engineering faculties is historically taught as an power conversion course. This was justified throughout many of the final century, as energy was the principle subject {of electrical} engineering. These days, the sector contains quite a lot of new specializations equivalent to digital techniques, pc engineering, communications, imaging, and networks. With the sector being so widespread, power conversion changed into a subject for college students specializing solely in energy.

Consequently, a lot of faculties have determined to transfer their power conversion programs from the core curricula to the elective curricula. Different faculties with restricted sources have dropped the power conversion programs altogether. Lately, renewed curiosity in electrical power has emerged due to a number of vital causes.

Amongst them are the continued seek for renewable power and good grid, the societal influence of blackouts, the environmental influence of producing electrical energy, and the lack of awareness by {most electrical} engineers in elementary topics equivalent to electrical security and energy crops. As well as, the brand new ABET standards in america encourages the event of curricula that underline broad training in engineering, up to date engineering, and the influence of engineering options in a worldwide and societal context.

All these necessities will be met by restructuring the introductory electrical power course and making it related to all electrical engineering and most mechanical engineering college students. That is the principle goal of this textbook. The ebook is authored to help faculties that want to set up a course with a wider view of electrical power whereas sustaining excessive ranges of depth. A lot of the matters on this ebook are associated to points encountered every day and, subsequently, must be of nice curiosity to all engineering college students.

Nearly all of the chapters within the ebook are structured to be stand-alone matters; instructors can thus choose and select the chapters they need to train. They will additionally choose the sequence by which they like to train the chapters. A lot of the examples within the ebook are from actual techniques and with actual knowledge to make the course related to all college students. Among the many matters coated on this third version are power sources, renewable power, energy crops and their environmental impacts, electrical security, energy high quality, energy market, blackouts, and future energy techniques.

As well as, the matters of electromechanical conversion, transformers, energy electronics, and three-phase techniques are included within the ebook to deal with the wants of some faculties for instructing these vital matters. Nonetheless, these conventional matters have been made extra related to college students. For instance, the part on electrical motors contains linear and levitated motors in addition to stepper motors.
