ELECTRIC POWER COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS is a refereed journal that publishes original papers of permanent reference value. The papers relate to the broad field of electromechanics, electricmachines, and power systems. Specific topics include: rotating electric machines—newmethods of analysis, computation, and design: advances in materials used in electric machines (for example, permanent magnets, superconductors, etc.); solid-state control of electric machines; linear motors; new types of electric machines; electro magnetic fields in energy converters; control aspects of electric machines; power system planning; reliability and security; transmission and distribution; dispatching and scheduling; high-voltage dc systems; and power system protection. The Journal also publishes correspondence items and book reviews.
