Permanent Magnet Synchronous and Brushless DC Motor Drives

Unlike most books on machine drives, Permanent Magnet Synchronous and Brushless DC Motor Drives provides comprehensive treatment of control and low cost converter topologies. After an introduction to machines, power devices, inverters, and control, this book presents detailed coverage of pm synchronous machines, including modeling, implementation, control strategies, flux weakening operations, parameter sensitivity, sensorless control, and intelligent control applications. Subsequent chapters address the simulation, control, inverters topologies, and commutation torque ripple of pm brushless dc motor drives. MATLAB codes are also included throughout the text where appropriate.
