About the book (from the publisher)

“Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems” covers the concepts needed to understand the evolution of electrical and magnetic variables for designing the power-electronic circuits that supply or extract electrical energy from a variety of machines, comprehensively addressing the varied needs of readers in the electric machinery, electric drives, and electric power industries.

This fourth edition has been extensively revised and updated to include nine new or updated chapters on symmetrical three-phase stators, symmetrical induction machines, brushless DC machines, synchronous machines, neglecting electric transients, eigenvalues and voltage-behind-reactive machine equations, direct current machine and drive, and torque control of permanent-magnet and synchronous reluctance machines.

Introductory concepts related to the subject have also been expanded upon, detailing stationary magnetically coupled circuits, energy balance relationships, energy in coupling field, and steady-state and dynamic performance of electromechanical systems. The fourth edition also includes illustrations of the free-acceleration characteristics of induction and brushless DC machines viewed from various reference frames and many other topics.

About the Purdue authors

Paul Krause (1932-2025) was a retired professor of electrical and computer engineering. Krause founded engineering research and development firm PC Krause and Associates, Inc. and was a life fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Oleg Wasynczuk is a professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering. His research is focused on power system dynamics control and modeling, and electromechanical and solid-state energy conversion.

Scott Sudhoff is the Michael and Katherine Birck Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as the associate head of undergraduate programs for the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His areas of interest include power electronics, power magnetics, naval systems, and genetic algorithm based multi-objective optimization.

Steven Pekarek is the Edmund O. Schweitzer, III Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research centers on the analysis, design and control of electric machines, power electronics and power electronic-based systems.
