The complexity of AC motor control
lies in the multivariable and nonlinear nature of AC machine dynamics.
Recent advancements in control theory now make it possible to deal with
long-standing problems in AC motors control. This text expertly draws on
these developments to apply a wide range of model-based control
designmethods to a variety of AC motors.
Contributions from over
thirty top researchers explain how modern control design methods can be
used to achieve tight speed regulation, optimal energetic efficiency,
and operation reliability and safety, by considering online state
variable estimation in the absence of mechanical sensors, power factor
correction, machine flux optimization, fault detection and isolation,
and fault tolerant control.
Describing the complete control
approach, both controller and observer designs are demonstrated using
advanced nonlinear methods, stability and performance are analysed using
powerful techniques, including implementation considerations using
digital computing means.
Other key features:
• Covers
the main types of AC motors including triphase, multiphase, and doubly
fed induction motors, wound rotor, permanent magnet, and interior PM
synchronous motors
• Illustrates the usefulness of the advanced
control methods via industrial applications including electric vehicles,
high speed trains, steel mills, and more
• Includes special
focus on sensorless nonlinear observers, adaptive and robust nonlinear
controllers, output-feedback controllers, fault detection and isolation
algorithms, and fault tolerant controllers
This
comprehensive volume provides researchers and designers and R&D
engineers with a single-source reference on AC motor system drives in
the automotive and transportation industry. It will also appeal to
advanced students in automatic control, electrical, power systems,
mechanical engineering and robotics, as well as mechatronic, process,
and applied control system engineers.
