PREFACE FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING:
You have in your hands an undergraduate text on fundamentals of electric power engineering. This text reflects the experience of the first author in teaching electric power engineering courses in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Maryland College Park during the past thirty-four years. These courses have constituted the educational core of the electric power engineering program.
This program was originally established (in the early 1980s) with the financial support and sponsorship of Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) Company, Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO), Virginia Electric Power Company (VEPCO), Bechtel Corporation and General Electric (GE) Foundation. This program has been designed as a sequence of senior elective courses in the area of electric power engineering.
This design has two main advantages. First, students in such elective courses usually have strong interest in electric power and are really motivated to learn the related material. Second, senior students have already been exposed to fundamentals in electric and electronic circuits, electromagnetics and control theory.
This opens the opportunity to cover the material in power courses at sufficiently high level and with the same mathematical and physical rigor which is now practiced in courses on communication, control and electromagnetics. This text on fundamentals of electric power engineering reflects this approach to teaching power courses.
Electric power engineering has always been an integral part of electrical engineering education. This is especially true nowadays in view of renewed emphasis in the area of energy in general and electric power engineering in particular. This textbook may provide a viable alternative to existing textbooks on the market by covering in one volume in a concise and rigorous manner such topics as power systems, electrical machines and power electronics.
For this reason, this book can be used for teaching three different courses such as Power Systems, Electrical Machines and Power Electronics. These power courses form the mainstream of electric power engineering curriculum at most universities worldwide.
The book consists of three parts. The first part of the book deals with the review of electric and magnetic circuits. This review stresses the topics which nowadays are usually deemphasized (or ignored) in required circuits and electromagnetics courses. Namely, the phasor diagrams for ac circuits and analysis of electric circuits with periodic non-sinusoidal sources are stressed. Phasor diagrams have practically disappeared from circuit courses and textbooks, while these diagrams are still very instrumental in electric power engineering.
