"Electric machines, particularly AC machines, consume over 40% of globally generated electric power. With rapid electrification of the transportation sector, to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, these machines are set to consume most of the power that is generated. Advancement in the field of power electronics has increased efficiency in controlling these machines via power-electronic converters, with improved performance and wide operating region compared to those connected directly to the grid. These advantages come with increased necessity for greater physical and mathematical understanding of these machines' operation to be able to produce optimal performance and efficiency"--
