Electric Energyby El-Sharkawi A. El-Sharkawi
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book provides readers with a broad knowledge of electrical energy, including electrical safety, energy resources, renewable energy, power plants, the environmental impact of energy generation, and the power market, along with power electronics and electromechanical conversion. Written for engineering students and emphasizing modeling and analysis, it brings all of these topics together into one text for the first time. The author includes examples from real systems with real data and verifies through mathematical modeling some of the rule-of-thumb approaches used in industry. Designed for modern engineering curricula, the book is an ideal text for junior-level electrical energy courses. Book News Annotation:The search for clean, renewable energy has triggered new interest in
electric energy, basically re-inventing traditional coursework in the
subject. This undergraduate text covers this new material with real-
life examples while maintaining the expected high level of analysis
and modeling. El-Sharkawi (U. of Washington) describes the history
and future of power systems, their basic components, and energy
resources. He examines the workings of power plants, their
environmental impact, and the possibilities of renewable energy,
including solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy. He describes
alternating current circuits, three-phase systems, power electronics,
transformers, electric machines, power distribution and blackouts,
and devotes a chapter to electric safety.
