Chaos in Electric Drive Systems Analysis, Control and Application

First book with systematic theories, practical experiments and industrial applications of chaos in electric drive systems In recent years, researchers in the field of electrical and electronic engineering have actively investigated the potential applications of chaos, however, most of the relevant papers and books have focused on dealing with theoretical treatment and computer simulation. There is no English language book dealing with chaos in electric drive systems. Chau's book is the first book consolidating all important information in this interdisciplinary technology, covering the fundamental concept of chaos, system modeling, chaotic analysis, computer simulation, hardware implementation and industrial application. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of chaos in electric drive systems, including three major themes: analysis, control and application. The corresponding drive systems range from the simplest type to the latest type, namely the DC, induction, synchronous reluctance, switched reluctance and permanent magnet brushless drives. The analysis theme deals with the identification of chaos in various drive systems. The control theme focuses on the stabilization and stimulation of chaos in typical drive systems. The application theme discusses the application of chaotic phenomena, with practical simulation and experimentation, for industrial equipment and domestic appliances. First monograph exploring chaos in electric drive systems Authored by a well-known scientist in the field A one-stop reference resource for latest findings on chaos in electric drive systems Arms readers with theoretical treatment, practical experiments and industrial applications Covers drive systems from simplest type to the latest Supplementary presentation files available
