The third edition of Induction Machines Handbook comprises two volumes, Induction Machines Handbook: Steady State Modeling and Performance and Induction Machines Handbook: Transients, Control Principles, Design and Testing. The promise of renewable (hydro and wind) energy via cage-rotor and doubly fed variable speed generators e-transport propulsion, i-home appliances makes this third edition state of the art tool, conceived with numerous case studies, timely for both Academia and Industry.
The first volume offers a thorough treatment of steady state modeling and performance of induction machines, the most used electric motors (generators) in rather constant or variable speed drives for even lower energy consumption and higher productivity in basically all industries, from home appliances, through robotics to e-transport and wind energy conversion.
The second volume presents a practical up to date treatment of intricate issues with induction machine (IM) required for design and testing both in rather constant and variable speed (with power electronics) drives. It contains ready to use in industrial design and testing knowledge with numerous case studies to facilitate thorough assimilation of new knowledge.
Ion Boldea, IEEE Life Fellow, Professor Emeritus at University Politehnica Timisoara, Romania has taught, did research and published extensively papers and books (monographs and textbooks) over more than 45 years, related to rotary and linear electric motor/generator variable speed drives and MAGLEVS. He was a visiting Professor in USA, UK for more than 5 years since 1973 to present.
He was granted 4 IEEE best paper Awards, has been a member of IEEE IAS, IE MEC and IDC since 1992, was the guest editor of numerous special sections in IEEE Trans, vol. IE, IA, delivered keynote addresses at quite a few IEEE sponsored International Conferences, participated in IEEE Conference tutorials, is since 2008 an IEEE IAS distinguished lecturer (with lecture in USA, Brasil, S. Korea, Denmark, Italy, etc.). He held periodic intensive graduate courses for Academia and Industry in USA and Denmark in the last 20 years.
He was a general chair of 10 bianual IEEE sponsored OPTIM International Conferences (www.info-optim.ro) and is the founding and current Chief Editor since the year 2000, of the International – only Journal of Electrical Engineering "www.jee.ro".
Full member of Romanian Academy, he received the "Nicola Tesla IEEE-2015 Award" for contributions to the development of rotary and linear electric motor/generator drives and Maglevs modeling, design, testing and control in industrial applications.
