Abstract

This book covers three-phase and multiphase (more than three-phase) motor drives including their control and practical problems faced in the field (e.g., adding LC filters in the output of a feeding converter), are considered. The new edition contains links to Matlab®/Simulink models and PowerPoint slides ideal for teaching and understanding the material contained within the book. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to high performance drives, including the challenges and requirements for electric drives and medium voltage industrial applications An exploration of mathematical and simulation models of AC machines, including DC motors and squirrel cage induction motors A treatment of pulse width modulation of power electronic DC-AC converter, including the classification of PWM schemes for voltage source and current source inverters Examinations of harmonic injection PWM and field-oriented control of AC machines Voltage source and current source inverter-fed drives and their control Modelling and control of multiphase motor drive system Supported with a companion website hosting online resources.
