As more renewable energy sources and battery storage units are specified and incorporated into power systems, consultant specifying engineers are faced with many challenges that could impact the ...

Alternating-current (ac) generators are commonly referred to as synchronous generators or alternators. A synchronous machine, whether it is a generator or a motor, operates at synchronous speed, that ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.
