Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

The late 1980s saw the beginning of the PM brushless machine era with the invention of high-energy density permanent magnets (PM) and the development of power electronics. Although induction motors are now the most popular electric motors the impact of PM brushless machines on electromechanical drives is significant. Today PM machines come second to induction machines. Replacement of electromagnetic field excitation systems by PMs brings the following benefits: No electrical energy is absorbed by the field excitation system and thus there are no excitation losses causing substantial increase in efficiency Higher power density (kW/kg) and/or torque density (Nm/kg) than electromagnetic excitation Better dynamic performance than motors with electromagnetic excitation (higher magnetic flux density in the air gap) Simplification of construction and maintenance Less expensive for some types of machines Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines: Theory and Control serves as a textbook for undergraduate power engineering students who want to supplement and expand their knowledge in the fundamentals of magnetism soft magnetic materials permanent magnets (PMs) calculation of magnetic circuits with PMs modern PM brushed DC machines and their controls modern PM brushless DC motors and drive control and modern PM generators. The book can help students learn more about electrical machines and can serve as a prescribed text for teaching elective undergraduate courses such as modern permanent magnet electrical machines. Since the book is written in a simple scientific language and without redundant mathematics it can also be used by practicing engineers and managers employed in electrical machinery or electromagnetic device industries. | Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants

Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants

Seawater desalination is a coastal-based industry. The growing number of desalination plants worldwide and the increasing size of single facilities emphasises the need for greener desalination technologies and more sustainable desalination projects. Two complementing approaches are the development and implementation of best available technology (BAT) standards and best practice guidelines for environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies. While BAT is a technology-based approach which favours state of the art technologies that reduce resource consumption and waste emissions EIA aims at minimizing impacts at a site- and project-specific level through environmental monitoring evaluation of impacts and mitigation where necessary. This book contains a comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of the potential environmental impacts of desalination plants with emphasis on the marine environment and aspects of energy use followed by the development of strategies for impact mitigating. A concept for BAT for seawater desalination technologies is proposed in combination with a methodological approach for the EIA of desalination projects. The scope of the EIA studies are outlined including environmental monitoring toxicity and hydrodynamic modelling studies and the usefulness of multi-criteria analysis as a decision support tool for EIAs is explored and used to compare different intake and pre-treatment options for seawater reverse osmosis plants. | Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants
