Industrial motion control is paramount in raising productivity and quality and in reducing energy and equipment maintenance costs in all industries. Electric drives share most of industrial motion control applications.
This book presents a comprehensive view of modern (variable speed) electric drives, requiring no prior knowledge of power electronics or electric machinery. It serves as an excellent source to anyone seeking thorough knowledge on topology, performance, design elements, digital simulation programs (in MATLAB) and test results, as well as practical issues in industrial drives.
An interactive CD-ROM version is attached, including:
