Unlike most books on machine drives, Permanent Magnet Synchronous and Brushless DC Motor Drives provides comprehensive treatment of standard and low cost converter topologies and integrated control of the motor drive system. 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, and rotor position sensorless control. Subsequent chapters address the simulation, control, inverters topologies, and commutation...

Many engineers and scientists have receive little or no training in designed experiments, and any courses that are available tend to be either abstract and divorced from practical considerations or strictly practical-lacking the rigor and depth necessary for true, long-term understanding.

Practical Guide to Designed Experiments: A Unified Modular Approach bridges that gap, presenting the essential material in a manner that permits rapid application to practical problems but also provides the structure and understanding necessary for long-term growth. It covers two-level and three-level...
