Follow on Google News | New Edition of Electric Energy: An Introduction from CRC PressElectric Energy: An Introduction, Third Edition restructures the traditional introductory electric energy course to better meet the needs of electrical and mechanical engineering students.
By: CRC Press Now in color, this third edition of a bestselling textbook gives students a wider view of electric energy, without sacrificing depth. Coverage includes energy resources, renewable energy, power plants and their environmental impacts, electric safety, power quality, power market, blackouts, and future power systems. The book also makes the traditional topics of electromechanical conversion, transformers, power electronics, and three-phase systems more relevant to students. Throughout, it emphasizes issues that engineers encounter in their daily work, with numerous examples drawn from real systems and real data. What’s New in This Edition Color illustrations Substation and distribution equipment Updated data on energy resources Expanded coverage of power plants Expanded material on renewable energy Expanded material on electric safety Three-phase system and pulse width modulation for DC/AC converters Induction generator More information on smart grids Additional problems and solutions Combining the fundamentals of traditional energy conversion with contemporary topics in electric energy, this accessible textbook gives students the broad background they need to meet future challenges. Praise "El-Sharkawi’ —George G. Karady, Arizona State University, Tempe, USA "This is a great piece of work. It combines a diverse set of materials creatively in a single text. Excellent!" —Peter Idowu, Penn State Harrisburg, Middletown, USA "The strength of this book is in its broad treatment of electric energy components and systems in a way that is both useful to engineering students as a stand-alone course, and provides background for more advanced study in these topics." —Paul Hines, The University of Vermont, Burlington, USA Praise for the Second Edition "I found the book to be a nice introductory course to the discipline of electric energy production, transmission, and distribution. I would recommend it to the undergraduate student beginning to explore the rewarding career path of electrical engineering, and equally so to nontechnical professionals working in the power and energy industry who may wish to gain greater insight into the functioning and operations of the electric power system. I truly enjoyed reading this book." —Pouyan Pourbeik, IEEE Power & Energy Magazine About the Author Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi is a fellow of the IEEE and a professor of electrical engineering in the energy area at the University of Washington. He has published more than 250 papers and holds five licensed patents in the area of renewable energy VAR management and minimum arc sequential circuit breaker switching.
