Applied Control of Electrical Drives

Applied Control of Electrical Drives: Real-Time Embedded and Sensorless Control Using Altair EMBED and PLECS is a hands-on, practical guide that puts the fundamental and advanced concepts behind electric drives into practice. This revised edition is designed to help engineers and students implement modern electrical drive concepts without requiring in-depth programming skills. It provides step-by-step instructions for building and running a series of AC drive concepts, ranging from basic to sophisticated sensorless drives, while avoiding complex mathematics whenever possible. This new edition includes updated hardware examples from Texas Instruments and expands embedded control coverage to include Altair Embed®, PLECS simulation software, and the RT Box, giving readers more options. This book is the only resource that bridges the gap between simulation and experimental environments. Engineers who need to implement an electrical drive or transition from sensored to sensorless drives, as well as students who need to understand the practical aspects of working with electrical drives, will significantly benefit from this unique reference.
