Based on the authors 30 years of experience at General Motors, Lockheed Martin, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation, and 15 years of teaching, this textbook discusses the entire scope of electrical power and power electronic systems. It is organized into three sections: Power Generation, Distribution, and Utilization; Energy Storage and Economic Use of Power; and Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Motor Drives. It has many examples integrated within the text, exercise problems that help students calibrate their learning, and concept questions to engage students in group discussions on the topics covered in the chapter.
