This work consists of simple and innovative experiments at the beginning and, as work advances, the experiments become themselves bigger and with more details. The last topics show the analysis of induction and synchronous generators in parallel operation mode and their transients. This work intends to present some innovative and relevant experiments and concepts to electrical machines applications. All chapters show innovations and they are interconnected so that the readers have a wide understanding about these new ways of electrical machines control and operation.
