Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are popular in the electric vehicle industry due to their high-power density, large torque-to-inertia ratio, and high reliability. This book presents an improved field-oriented control (FOC) strategy for PMSMs that utilizes optimal proportional-integral (PI) parameters to achieve robust stability, faster dynamic response, and higher efficiency in the flux-weakening region. The book covers the combined design of a PI current regulator and varying switching frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM), along with an improved linear model predictive control (MPC) strategy. Researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, systems and control, and electric vehicles will find this book useful.Features:• Implements evolutionary optimization algorithms to improve PMSM performance.• Provides coverage of PMSM control design in the flux-weakening region.• Proposes a modern method of model predictive control to improve the dynamic performance of interior PMSM.• Studies the dynamic performance of two kinds of PMSMs: surface-mounted and interior permanent magnet types.• Includes several case studies and illustrative examples with MATLAB®.This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and libraries in electrical engineering with specialization in systems and control and electric vehicles.

This book presents a framework for sustainable, affordable, and reliable electricity systems. It begins by examining the global energy situation, emphasizing the pressures of population growth, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation. The critical aspects of reliability and resiliency are discussed next. Modern grids must balance the intermittency of renewable energy sources with the demand for a continuous supply. Energy storage, smart grids, and innovative market mechanisms all play a role, but they also raise questions about cost and feasibility.Another central theme is the rise of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. These technologies promise to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, but they also affect electricity demand and intensify the need for critical minerals. Their rapid adoption requires infrastructure planning, recycling strategies, and grid integration.A distinctive contribution of this work is the identification of twelve key research gaps in energy transition knowledge, policy, and technology, and proposing strategies to move toward an energy future that is fair, resilient, and sustainable for generations to come.

This book discusses a number of important topical technical and non-technical issues related to the global energy, environment and socio-economic developments for professionals and students directly and indirectly involved in the relevant fields. It shows how renewable energy offers solutions to mitigate energy demand and helps achieve a clean environment, and also addresses the lack of a clear vision in the development of technology and a policy to reach the mandatory global renewable energy targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stimulate socio-economic development. The book is structured in such a way that it provides a consistent compilation of fundamental theories, a compendium of current research and development activities as well as new directions to overcome critical limitations; future technologies for power grids and their control, stability and reliability are also presented.
