Description
Electric Drives provides a practical understanding of the subtleties involved in the operation of modern electric drives. The Third Edition of this bestselling textbook has been fully updated and greatly expanded to incorporate the latest technologies used to save energy and increase productivity, stability, and reliability.
Every phrase, equation, number, and reference in the text has been revisited, with the necessary changes made throughout. In addition, new references to key research and development activities have been included to accurately reflect the current state of the art.
Nearly 120 new pages covering recent advances, such as those made in the sensorless control of A.C. motor drives, have been added; as have two new chapters on advanced scalar control and multiphase electric machine drives. All solved numerical examples have been retained, and the 10 MATLAB (R)-Simulink (R) programs remain online.
Thus, Electric Drives, Third Edition offers an up-to-date synthesis of the basic and advanced control of electric drives, with ample material for a two-semester course at the university level.

"All subjects are explained using a level of detail that suits both the experienced and the undergraduate reader. ... The selection of topics is suitable for an updated book aligned to the state of the art on the subject. Quite a few new chapters have been added to the text of the previous editions and most of the original sections have been improved to include the newest techniques. ... Chapter 11, in particular, has been improved, and many aspects which required further in-depth analysis have been now clarified. The book is also well provided with examples and simulations. ... The new edition of this successful book covers all significant subjects relevant to electrical drives. Past editions of this book constituted my favorite references for my everyday practice in the field. This updated edition promises to remain my companion for the years to come."-Fabrizio Marignetti, University of Cassino and Southern Latium, Italy
"... quite comprehensive. ... has many examples to be used in teaching. ... up to date with the latest machines used for speed control. ... very well done. ... covers both motor and generator operation, which is a stronghold. It also has MATLAB (R) simulation files, so students can try to simulate quite easily. ... good for a course on electrical machines and their control."
-Frede Blaabjerg, Aalborg University, Denmark
"I strongly recommend this well-balanced modern textbook as a basic text for a wide audience of engineering educators, students, and engineers in industry. I have no doubt that Electric Drives is the best textbook from the area of electric drives technology on the market, and it will certainly be at least as successful as the first and second editions."
-IEEE Industrial Electronics, December 2016
"This book provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of electric drives. It provides details on power electronic converters for drives and the appli-cation of these converters to various motor types including DC brush motors, induc-tion motors, synchronous motors, large power drives, electric generator control, and the many practical issues with pulse width modulated (PWM) drives.
The many examples given, help illustrate methods and show how drives can be applied. The comprehensive back-ground, along with MATLAB simulation files provided to help the reader quickly simulate drive models, and the latest in-formation on machines for speed control, make this book an excellent resource for undergraduate or graduate course material on electrical machines and control. It can also serve as a reference for professionals working with electric drives who want to learn about the latest devel-opments in electric drives or just need a comprehensive reference available."
