(Condition monitoring of electrical machines and drive sys...)
Condition monitoring of electrical machines and drive systems is a vital factor to achieve efficient and profitable operation of a large variety of industrial processes. Similarly, parameter estimation is important for the machine designer, and invaluable to the operator of modern drives implementing various types of controllers. It is also necessary to know the machine parameters for a number of simulation purposes. The chapters in this volume cover recent trends and advances in these and other areas, including sections on on-line and off-line parameter estimation of smooth-air-gap and salient-pole electrical machines, their diagnosis, and condition monitoring. New real-time monitoring devices, vibroacoustic techniques, and the symptoms and possible causes of failures of electrical machines are also discussed. In the book a unified and in-depth physical and mathematical analysis of the various parameter estimators and condition monitoring methods is presented. For this purpose, where possible, space phasor theory is utilized and the most recent and modern developments in the field are incorporated. The book is intended for academic and professional electrical engineers, and all those responsible for the performance, maintenance, and design of electrical machines and drive systems.

(Roughly half of all electricity generated is consumed in ...)
Roughly half of all electricity generated is consumed in motors, and recent efforts to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to improving electric motors are receiving attention worldwide. At present two industrial drives incorporate some form of AI. This book is the first comprehensive discussion of AI applications to electrical machines and drives. It looks at d.c. drives, induction motor drives, synchronous motor drives, switched reluctance motor drives, and sensorless drives. It combines simple explanations of AI-based systems with detailed and unified mathematical and physical treatments, and it includes numerous worked examples, simulations, and experimental results.

In recent years vector-controlled AC drives have taken over from more conventional DC drives. Applications are found everywhere including machine tools, robotics, electric traction, and computer peripherals. This book examines sensorless vector-controlled drives and direct torque controlled drives. It builds on the author's popular Vector Control of AC Drives and brings the subject fully up to date.
