Title Details

A comprehensive guide to understanding AC machines withexhaustive simulation models to practice design and control Nearly seventy percent of the electricity generated worldwide isused by electrical motors. Worldwide, huge research efforts arebeing made to develop commercially viable three- and multi-phasemotor drive systems that are economically and technicallyfeasible. Focusing on the most popular AC machines used in industry– induction machine and permanent magnet synchronous machine– this book illustrates advanced control techniques andtopologies in practice and recently deployed. Examples are drawnfrom important techniques including Vector Control, Direct TorqueControl, Nonlinear Control, Predictive Control, multi-phase drivesand multilevel inverters. Key features include: systematic coverage of the advanced concepts of AC motor driveswith and without output filter; discussion on the modelling, analysis and control of three- andmulti-phase AC machine drives, including the recently developedmulti-phase-phase drive system and double fed inductionmachine; description of model predictive control applied to powerconverters and AC drives, illustrated together with theirsimulation models; end-of-chapter questions, with answers and PowerPoint slidesavailable on the companion website ahref="http://www.wiley.com/go/aburub_control"www.wiley.com/go/aburub_control/a This book integrates a diverse range of topics into one usefulvolume, including most the latest developments. It provides aneffective guideline for students and professionals on many vitalelectric drives aspects. It is an advanced textbook for final yearundergraduate and graduate students, and researchers in powerelectronics, electric drives and motor control. It is also a handytool for specialists and practicing engineers wanting to developand verify their own algorithms and techniques.
