This book introduces electromechanical energy conversion through active learning. The book contains numerous hands-on challenges that encourage a creative and determined approach to problem solving, making it an ideal text for undergraduate courses. Covering linear and non-linear magnetic circuits, transformers, electromechanical energy and forces, and excited electromechanical systems, along with detailed examination of various machines involved, Electromechanical Energy Conversion Through Active Learning is an essential guide for teachers and an invaluable companion for students studying energy conversion.

This second edition will expand by including one of the most critical problems faced by humanity: renewable energy. Electromechanical energy conversion is the key to wind turbine applications and this edition will include 3 new chapters, including Applications in Onshore Wind Turbines, Synchronous Machines: Wind Turbine Applications, and Asynchronous Machines: Wind Turbines Applications.

Key Features:

• Provides a simplified presentation of the content • Includes both worked examples and problems for students • Includes the extensive use of open-source simulator FEM for analysis and understanding • Provides software (MATLAB) • Revised and expanded with 3 new chapters focusing on wind energy
