This book gathers selected research papers presented at the Third International Conference on Energy Systems, Drives, and Automations (ESDA 2020). It covers a broad range of topics in the fields of renewable energy, power management, drive systems for electrical machines, and automation. In a spam of about a few interesting articles, effort had gone in to critically discuss about the control system, energy management and distribution in a unified approach common to electrical, Control and mechanical engineering. This book also comprehensively discusses a variety of related tools and techniques and will be a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students in electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines.
