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...

SRM and variable drive systems using SRMs are receiving considerable attention from industry. Successful realization of an SRM variable drive system demands an understanding of the converter and controller subsystems and their integration with the machine. This book provides knowledge of SRMs, power converters and their use with both sensor-based and sensorless controllers. Switched Reluctance Motor Drives enables both students and engineers to learn all aspects of SRM drive systems and appreciate the interdependence of the various subsystems in performance optimization. The author develops...
