This book provides a unique approach to derive model based torque controllers for all types of Lorentz force machines, i.e. DC, synchronous and induction machines. The rotating transformer model forms the basis for this generalized modeling approach, which ultimately leads to the development of universal field-oriented control algorithms. Tutorials are included at the end of each chapter, and the reader is encouraged to execute these tutorials in order to gain familiarity with all aspects of drive technology. Hence, Advanced Electrical Drives encourages “learning by doing”. Furthermore, the experienced drive specialist may find the simulation tools useful to design high-performance controllers for all sorts of electrical drives. This updated edition now uses PLECS software for modeling, supporting mathematical equations that leverage amplitude invariant vectors. Although it is a powerful reference in its own right, when used in conjunction with the companion texts Fundamentals of Electrical Drives and Applied Control of Electrical Drives, this book provides a uniquely comprehensive reference set that takes readers all the way from understanding the basics of how electrical drives work, to deep familiarity with advanced features and models, to a mastery of applying the concepts to actual hardware in practice.Updated to use PLECS for modeling electrical drives, and include new more experimental results;Teaches readers to perform insightful analysis of AC electrical machines and drives;Introduces new modeling methods + modern control techniques for switched reluctance drives.weiterlesen
