ELECTRIC GENERATORS HANDBOOK, THE (2 VOLUME SET)

Provides a comprehensive survey of all types of electrical generators in a convenient, unified reference
Covers the topologies, steady state, transients, modeling, performance, control, design, and testing of all types of constant and variable-speed generators
Offers a detailed discussion of the major prime movers for generators, modeling of transients, and their use in active power control of electrical generators
Includes self-contained coverage of synchronous generators not available in any other single source
Imparts practical, state-of-the-art knowledge for the design and control of starter alternators for hybrid-electric vehicles, wind and hydro generators, and linear motion generators

The modern world hungers for electricity. Traditionally, this hunger was sated with predominantly constant-speed-regulated, synchronous generators. However, new demands require the stable, quick, and efficient delivery and control offered by variable-speed generators.
