The Author of Electric Power Principles

James L. Kirtley is the editor of Electric Power Principles Sources, Conversion, Distribution and Use PDF Guide

Book Description:

A revised and updated text that explores the fundamentals of the physics of electric power handling systems

The revised and updated second edition ofElectric Power Principles: Sources, Conversion, Distribution and Useoffers an innovative and comprehensive approach to the fundamentals of electric power. The author – a noted expert on the topic – provides a thorough grounding in electric power systems, with an informative discussion on per-unit normalisations, symmetrical components and iterative load flow calculations. The text covers the most important topics within the power system, such as protection and DC transmission, and examines both traditional power plants and those used for extracting sustainable energy from wind and sunlight.

The text explores the principles of electromechanical energy conversion and magnetic circuits and synchronous machines – the most important generators of electric power. The book also contains information on power electronics, induction and direct current motors. This new second edition includes:

A new chapter on energy storage, including battery modeling and how energy storage and associated power electronics can be used to modify system dynamics Information on voltage stability and bifurcation The addition of Newton’s Method for load flow calculations Material on the grounding transformer connections added to the section on three phase transformer An example of the unified power flow controller for voltage support Written for students studying electric power systems and electrical engineering, the updated second edition ofElectric Power Principles: Sources, Conversion, Distribution and Useis the classroom-tested text that offers an understanding of the basics of the physics of electric power handling systems.

Preface to Electric Power Principles PDF

On the time of this writing (autumn of 2009), there seems to be a heightened consciousness of the significance of power to our social welfare. (Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley)

There are, in my view, two causes for this. First, there may be an consciousness of the finite provide of fossil fuels saved beneath the floor of our planet, and that in the future we should make do with sustainable sources of power.

The opposite is the truth that use of those fossil fuels releases carbon again into the environment, resulting in attainable adjustments in warmth switch from the floor of the earth to area with attendant local weather change.

For each of those causes, the normal strategies for producing electrical energy might have to alter, and this can imply the necessity for effectively educated, progressive engineers to construct the ability techniques of the long run.

Along with the necessity for the engineering of the electrical energy system itself is the plain indisputable fact that electrical energy, within the broad sense, is getting used for a wider vary of purposes as time goes on.

Just about all rail transportation employs electrical propulsion; hybrid electrical cars have turn out to be necessary gadgets of commerce and promise to turn out to be a part of our power future.

Discount of the necessity for power (that’s conservation) requires enhanced effectivity and effectiveness of using power, and fairly often that includes using electrical energy.

The implications for schooling are clear: we within the tutorial world should educate engineers to be the leaders in designing, constructing and working new kinds of electrical energy techniques. (Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley)

Maybe much more necessary, we should additionally educate a broader class of scholars who will turn out to be leaders within the industrial and political realms to grasp no less than the rudiments and implications of power, together with electrical energy.

This Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book is the descendant of units of lecture notes that I’ve utilized in two topics on the Massachusetts Institute of Know-how: 6.061, Introduction to Electric Power Methods and 6.685, Electric Machines.

These notes have existed in varied types for about three a long time, and so they have benefited from the expertise of getting used by a number of generations of MIT undergraduate and graduate college students.

It’s my hope that this Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book is used by college students who need to achieve a broad understanding of how electrical energy is generated, transmitted, distributed and used.

Thus there may be materials right here past the normal electrical energy system and electrical equipment disciplines.

That stated, this Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book does have chapters that debate a few of the conventional materials of electrical energy techniques: per-unit normalizations, symmetrical elements, and iterative load movement calculations.

In step with my feeling that basic understanding is necessary, I’ve included chapters on the rules of electromechanical power conversion and on magnetic circuits.

To spherical out the ability techniques story is a reasonably in depth chapter on synchronous machines, that are nonetheless a very powerful turbines of electrical energy.

There are additionally brief discussions of the several types of energy vegetation, together with each conventional vegetation and people used for extracting sustainable power from wind and solar, and matters necessary to the ability system: safety and DC transmission.

On the utilization facet, there’s a chapter on energy electronics and chapters on the main courses of electrical motors: induction and direct present.

MATLAB is included, and every of the chapters is accompanied by some issues with a reasonably big selection of problem, from fairly simple to pretty difficult.

The fabric on this Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book ought to be accessible to an undergraduate electrical engineering scholar on the third-year stage.

I’ve assumed the reader of this Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book could have a primary however strong background within the fundamentals {of electrical} engineering, together with an understanding of multivariable calculus and primary differential equations, a primary understanding of electrical circuit principle and an understanding of Maxwell’s equations.

This Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book could possibly be used for topics with quite a few totally different areas of emphasis. A ‘first course’ in electrical energy techniques would possibly use Chapters 1 by means of 4, 6, 7, 10 and 11. Chapter 7 has an appendix on transmission line inductance parameters that may in all probability be safely skipped in an introductory topic.

Chapter 9 is about synchronous machines and instructors of many energy techniques topics would need to deal with this topic. (Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley)

Chapter 12 is an introduction to energy electronics and this, too, could be thought of for a course in energy techniques. A ‘first course’ that offers primarily with electrical machines could possibly be taught from Chapters 4, 5, 8, 9 and 12 to 15.

The variety of college students who’ve influenced, hopefully for the higher, the topic materials on this Electric Power Principles by James L. Kirtley e book is so giant that there can be no hope in calling all of them out.

Nevertheless, I need to acknowledge a couple of of the individuals who have taught me this materials and influenced my skilled profession.

I’d additionally prefer to thank Steve Sprague of the Electric Motor Training and Analysis Basis for {the electrical} sheet metal information graphics.These embrace Herb Woodson, Jim Melcher, Gerald Wilson, Alex Kusko, Joe Smith, Charles Kingsley, Steve Umans and Steve Leeb.
