Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

Description

Permanent magnet synchronous (PMS) motors stand at the forefront of electric motor development due to their energy saving capabilities and performance potential. This book is a timely advancement along that path as the first comprehensive, self-contained, and thoroughly up-to-date book devoted solely to the control of PMS motors.

• Well timed for rapid rise of the application of PMS motors in factory automation, robotics, electric and hybrid vehicles, and drones
• Describes more than seventy control and estimation schemes with sufficient analytical and implementation details
• Presents over ten machine models essential for motor control
• Includes over 150 original figures for easy and deep understanding of complex concepts, formulas and system implementations
• Provides extensive simulation and experimental results for performance evaluation
• Balances theory and practice to serve academic and industrial needs

Reviews

"A valuable resource that can be used as a textbook for any graduate course dealing with electric motor control. It offers several problems at the end of each chapter and a rich bibliography for further studies. It is focused on permanent magnet machines... a very useful reference for engineers who deal with PM motor control. This is an advance book yet understandable for a wide range of readers and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to expand his/her understanding on PMSM control." - Arash Hassanpour, IEEE Senior Member
