Publications
- 113 journal articles and 95 conference papers in power quality, energy conversion, power systems and renewable energy
- two US patents on AC machines with increased torque and speed for hybrid/electric propulsion employing flux-weakening compensation
- five co-authored textbooks:
- , Springer 2011, 2nd Printing in 2012听听
- (1st Edition) Elsevier 2008
- (2nd Edition) Elsevier 2015
- (STEM) Professionals and Students, Wiley 2021听听
- , Elsevier (3rd Edition, 2023).听This textbook, in particular, discusses suitable components for limiting global temperature increase to 1.50o C by 2050, including renewable energy via windpower and photovoltaic plants, hydro and geothermal power, and energy-storage devices such as fuel cells, batteries, and hydrogen (electrolysis, methanation) to fuel automobiles and airplanes. Ammonia is a flexible fuel for ships, has an energy density by volume ~30% higher than hydrogen, and is safer to handle. 听
Note that all textbooks have an Instructor Manual available from publisher.
