The subject of Electric Generators (“Synchronous Generators” and” Variable Speed Generators” as in book here) attracted formidable R&D effort, both in Academia and in various industries in the last decade. To the point that “Electric generators design, testing and control” – the subject of present book set, may constitute a new senior or graduate Course in Universities with electric power programs and a practical guide for young professionals in industry. In the last 10 years design and control of electric generators for applications in energy conversion, through transport electrification, e-buildings, industrial processes, auxiliary power sources, inspired a rich body of new knowledge. By now, only the wind energy industry has more than 1000 GW of installed power (in 2025). In view of this progress, we decided (after 10 years) to come with a new (third) edition of this two-set book that:

- Keeps the structure of the second edition to avoid confusion to long-term users.

- Keeps and adds to the style with more numerical work-out examples of practical interest, together with more case studies to inspire the new R&D reader.

- Includes additional (though minor) needed text and number corrections.

- Adds quite a few new paragraphs, in most existing Chapters, especially as case studies of design or control of new (recent) electric generator systems of hot industrial interest.

Über Autor(innen)

Prof. Ion Boldea (IEEE Life Fellow) studied at and obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering (on linear induction motors design and control) in 1973 at University Politehnica Timisoara, Romania. He has been an active professor since 1968, having completed a Fulbright postdoctoral scholarship in the United States (1973-1974). Over the years, he has spent more than five years as a visiting Professor at institutions across the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and South Korea.

He investigated and published extensively on linear and rotary electric machine drives and magnetically levitated vehicles (MAGLEVs), focusing on their design and control for industrial applications, with his work appearing primarily in IEEE papers and books.

In recognition of his professional contribution, he received the 2015 Nikola Tesla IEEE Award and 2021 EPE Outstanding Achievement Award. He is a full member of both the Romanian Technical Sciences Academy (ASTR) and the Romanian Academy, and holds a Doctor Honoris Causa from Aalborg University, Denmark.

Prof. Boldea has given numerous keynote addresses at IEEE – sponsored international conferences and has delivered (as an IEEE-IAS Distinguished Lecturer since 2008) numerous intensive courses and lectures in the United States, Denmark, South Korea, Brazil and Italy, among other countries. He chaired and co-chaired the biannual IEEE Sponsored International Conference, OPTIM-ACEMP, for over 30 years. He has also held tech consulting contracts with international companies for decades, yearly and co-founded the company Bee-Speed (www.Bee-Speed.ro) in 1994, which is still continually active today, specializing in industrial digital electric automation in water integrated technologies.

He enjoys a rich family life and studies seminal books in philosophy, literature, economics, math and physics. He rides his bicycle to work daily, and his hobbies include gardening and tennis.
