This book provides the basis of the design of rotating AC machines. The first chapter puts the emphasis on the air gap magnetomotive force (MMF) of Rotating AC machines and the second chapter deals with the formulation of the rotating fields that could be generated considering different technique. The third chapter of this book focuses on the arrangement of the armature winding of fractional-slot concentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous machines, which is achieved considering the star of slots approach.
Each topic is explained by case studies that show how to implement the theory into real-world design of DC machines.
Table of Content
Air Gap Magnetomotive Force: Formulation and Analysis.- Rotating Fields: Creation and Effects on the Machine Features.- Fractional-Slot Concentrated Windings: Design and Analysis.
About the author
Ahmed Masmoudi received the B.S degree from Sfax Engineering National School (SENS),
University of Sfax, Sfax, Tunisia, in 1984, the Ph.D degree from Pierre and Marie Curie
University, Paris, France, in 1994, and the Research Management Ability degree from SENS,
in 2001, all in electrical engineering. In August 1984, he joined Shlumberger as a field
engineer. After this industrial experience, he joined the Tunisian University where he held
different positions involved in both education and research activities. He is currently a
professor of electric power engineering at SENS, the head of the Research Laboratory on
Renewable Energies and Electric Vehicles (RELEV) and the coordinator of the master on
Sustainable Mobility Actuators: Research and Technology. He published up to 85 journal
papers, 19 among which in IEEE transactions. He presented up 367 papers in international
conferences, 9 among which in plenary sessions, and 3 have been rewarded by the best
presented paper prize. He is the co-inventor of a USA patent. He is the chairman of
the Program and Publication Committees of the International Conference on Ecological
Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER), organized every year in Monte-Carlo, Monaco,
since 2006. He was also the chairman of the Technical Program and Publication Committees
of the first International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables, and
Technology (SMART) which has been held in Kuwait in November 2015. Its involvement
in the above conferences has been marked by an intensive guest-editorship activity with the
publication of many special issues of several journals including the IEEE Transactions on
Magnetics, COMPEL, ELECTROMOTION, and ETEP. Professor Masmoudi is a Senior
member, IEEE. His main interests include the design of new topologies of ac machines allied
to the implementation of advanced and efficient control strategies in drives and generators,
applied to renewable energy as well as to electrical automotive systems.
