All the details you need to get the best performance from any electric drive Electric Drives: Concepts and Applications. In this complete guide, an international expert taps the latest developments in the field to show you how to get optimal performance from any electric drive. Electric Drives shows you exactly how to: get the fastest dynamic response, the most accurate speed control, and more with thyristor power converters; design controllers to improve the static and dynamic behavior of the drive; maximize the use of microprocessors in electric drives; improve the dynamics of conventional systems with closed-loop systems; make the right choice with an extensive comparative analysis that details the common technical problems of a wide variety of drives. Plus, this ideal reference reviews elementary theory of electrical machines and conventional speed control methods (without deep mathematical analysis), and presents detailed discussions of closed-loop control and the dynamics of drives.
