Variable Speed Generators

This book provides extensive coverage of variable speed generators in distributed generation and renewable energy applications around the world. Numerous design and control examples illustrate the exposition. Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decade¿s worth of progress in the field, the second edition adds material on doubly fed induction generator control under unbalanced voltage sags and nonlinear loads, interior permanent magnet claw-pole-alternator systems, high power factor Vernier permanent magnet (PM) generators, PM-assisted reluctance synchronous motors/generators for electric hybrid vehicles, and more.
