The complexity of AC motor control lies in the multivariable andnonlinear nature of AC machine dynamics. Recent advancements incontrol theory now make it possible to deal with long-standingproblems in AC motors control. This text expertly draws on thesedevelopments to apply a wide range of model-based controldesignmethods to a variety of AC motors.
Contributions from over thirty top researchers explain howmodern control design methods can be used to achieve tight speedregulation, optimal energetic efficiency, and operation reliabilityand safety, by considering online state variable estimation in theabsence of mechanical sensors, power factor correction, machineflux optimization, fault detection and isolation, and faulttolerant control.
Describing the complete control approach, both controller andobserver designs are demonstrated using advanced nonlinear methods,stability and performance are analysed using powerful techniques,including implementation considerations using digital computingmeans.
Other key features:
* Covers the main types of AC motors including triphase,multiphase, and doubly fed induction motors, wound rotor, permanentmagnet, and interior PM synchronous motors
* Illustrates the usefulness of the advanced controlmethods via industrial applications including electric vehicles,high speed trains, steel mills, and more
* Includes special focus on sensorless nonlinearobservers, adaptive and robust nonlinear controllers,output-feedback controllers, fault detection and isolationalgorithms, and fault tolerant controllers
This comprehensive volume provides researchers and designers andR&D engineers with a single-source reference on AC motorsystem drives in the automotive and transportation industry. Itwill also appeal to advanced students in automatic control,electrical, power systems, mechanical engineering and robotics, aswell as mechatronic, process, and applied control systemengineers.
