Description
Book SynopsisThis volume presents the theory of control systems with sliding mode applied to electrical motors and power converters. It demonstrates the methodology of control design and the original algorithms of control and observation. Practically all semiconductor devices are used in power converters, that feed electrical motors, as power switches. A switching mode offers myriad attractive, inherent properties from a control viewpoint, especially a sliding mode. Sliding mode control supplies high dynamics to systems, invariability of systems to changes of their parameters and of exterior loads in combination with simplicity of design. Unlike linear control, switching sliding mode control does not replace the control system, but uses the natural properties of the control plant system effectively to ensure high control quality.
This is the first text that thoroughly describes the application of the highly theoretical control design approach to synchronous drives in practice. It
Trade Review
"The book Sliding Mode Control for Synchronous Electric Drives is intended for graduated students and specialists on control theory and applications, particularly on sliding mode control (SMC) of electrical drives. This book is also valuable for undergraduate students, practicing engineers, and control designers, willing to pursue a deep understanding of SMC [...]. [...] Using a rigorous treatment of mathematical concepts, the text relates theory, models, and applications. [...] This text is strongly recommended for Ph.D. students on SMC or nonlinear control in electrical drives, and for teachers and researchers in nonlinear control or variable structure control". Fernando A. Silva and Marian P. Kazmierkowski, IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, June 2013 This book, written by well-known researchers in the field, presents the theory of sliding mode control systems with application to electrical motors and power converters. [...] The main contribution of the book is Chapter 4 (Synchronous Drive Control Design) which presents two basic control schemes for synchronous drives with sliding mode approaches, taking into account the optimizations of the efficiency and power factor. [...] The final Chapter 8 (Practical Examples of Drive Control) is an excellent one describing sensor-less control of high-speed synchronous drive and digital control of electric drive with elastic connections. One of the attractive features of the book includes the application of sliding mode control to practical case of electric motor drives with experimental verification and validation. Exercises at the end of each chapter [make] this book an ideal choice for using it for a Special Problems course either in EE or Controls. [...] an excellent addition to this important field. D.
