<P>THIS BOOK ADDRESSES THE VECTOR CONTROL OF THREE-PHASE AC MACHINES, IN PARTICULAR INDUCTION MOTORS WITH SQUIRREL-CAGE ROTORS (IM), PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS (PMSM) AND DOUBLY-FED INDUCTION MACHINES (DFIM), FROM A PRACTICAL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE. THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE APPLICATION OF IM AND PMSM IN ELECTRICAL DRIVE SYSTEMS, WHERE FIELD-ORIENTATED CONTROL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED IN PRACTICE. IT ALSO DISCUSSES THE USE OF GRID-VOLTAGE ORIENTED CONTROL OF DFIMS IN WIND POWER PLANTS. THIS SECOND, ENLARGED EDITION INCLUDES NEW INSIGHTS INTO FLATNESS-BASED NONLINEAR CONTROL OF IM, PMSM AND DFIM. THE BOOK IS USEFUL FOR PRACTITIONERS AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS IN THE AREA OF ELECTRICAL DRIVES AND WIND-POWER TECHNOLOGY. IT IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS.</P>
This book addresses the vector control of three-phase AC machines, in particular induction motors with squirrel-cage rotors (IM), permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) and doubly-fed induction machines (DFIM), from a practical design and development perspective. The main focus is on the application of IM and PMSM in electrical drive systems, where field-orientated control has been successfully established in practice. It also discusses the use of grid-voltage oriented control of DFIMs in wind power plants. This second, enlarged edition includes new insights into flatness-based nonlinear control of IM, PMSM and DFIM. The book is useful for practitioners as well as development engineers and designers in the area of electrical drives and wind-power technology. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students.
