ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the comprehensive study of energy conversion in electromechanical systems, which include electromagnetic and electromechanical motion devices. A thorough consideration of friction is essential for understanding the operation of electromechanical systems. Energy conversion takes place in electromechanical motion devices and power systems, micro-electromechanical systems, and power electronic devices. Analysis and design of high-performance systems require a complete understanding of electromagnetic and electromechanical motion devices characteristics and associated interactions with power electronics. Fundamental principles of energy conversion, applicable to electromagnetic and electromechanical motion devices, must be studied first to provide analytical foundations. The physics of energy conversion must be researched and used to study the dynamics of electromechanical motion devices. The transient behavior of electromechanical systems have been mapped by differential equations that use states and controls, outputs and references, errors between the desired inputs and measured outputs, as well as parametric coefficients.
