PREFACE:

The well-being of an environmentally conscious contemporary world is strongly dependent on its efficient production and use of electric energy. Electric energy is produced with synchronous generators, but for the flexible, distributed, power systems of the near future, the induction machine as an electric generator/motor at variable speeds is gaining more and more ground. Pump storage hydroelectric plants already use doubly-fed induction machines up to 300MW/unit with the power electronic converter on the rotor side. On the other hand, the induction motor is the workhorse of industry due to its ruggedness, low cost, and good performance when fed from the standard a.c. power grid. The developments in power electronics and digital control have triggered the widespread usage of induction motor for variable speed drives in most industries. We can safely say that in the last decade the variable speed induction motor has already becomethe racehorse of industry.
