This book provides material essential for an undergraduate course covering the fundamental
concepts of electric energy conversion and transport—a key branch of electrical
engineering. Every electrical engineer should know why a motor rotates and how electric
energy is generated and transported. Moreover, the electric power grid is a critical
part of any national infrastructure. The maintenance and development of this vital
industry requires well-trained engineers who are able to use modern computation techniques
to analyze electric systems and understand the theory of electrical energy
conversion.
