For introductory (senior) level and graduate level courses in electric drives/power electronics.

The book develops a systematic approach to motor drives. While the emphasis is on practice; extensive modeling, simulation and analysis is developed to assist readers in their understanding of the subject matter from fundamental principles. Also, each motor drive is illustrated with an industrial application in detail at the end of chapters to enable readers to relate theory to practice.

  • Prior knowledge of electrical machines, power converters and linear control systems—Required for optimum text usage.
  • System level analysis, design and integration of the motor drives addressed.
  • Modeling and analysis of electrical machines and drive systems—Derived from first principles, while control algorithms are developed and their implementations with simulation results given whenever appropriate.
  • Chapters include Discussion Questions and Exercise Problems, along with detailed introductions.
(NOTE: Most chapters begin with an Introduction and conclude with either Suggested Readings or References, Discussion Questions and Exercise Problems.)
