Advanced Sliding Mode Control for Electric Machines and Drive Systems

This book presents advances in control technologies for efficient operation of permeant magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) and linear induction machines (LIMs) based on sliding mode control (SMC). It covers the design of the speed controller based on SMC and the composited speed controller based on different disturbance observers for the PMSM under the field-oriented control (FOC) method including the numerical analysis of second-order systems. Several case studies with simulation in MATLAB(R) and real-time experimental analysis have been offered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Key features: Summarizes several theoretical control algorithms for permanent magnet synchronous motors and linear induction motors Provides simulation and experimental results to show the effectiveness of the theoretical algorithms Considers control scenarios from the typical problems in industrial applications pertaining to permanent magnet synchronous motors and linear induction motors Proposes FOC, direct thrust control (DTC), and model predictive control (MPC) methods Includes numerical analysis of the second-order systems to understand the process of the SMC design and its parameters. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in control and electrical engineering.
