This book examines a number of topics, mainly in connection with advances in semiconductor devices and magnetic materials and developments in medium and large-scale renewable power plant technologies, grid integration techniques and new converter topologies, including advanced digital control systems for medium-voltage networks. The book’s individual chapters provide an extensive compilation of fundamental theories and in-depth information on current research and development trends, while also exploring new approaches to overcoming some critical limitations of conventional grid integration technologies. Its main objective is to present the design and implementation processes for medium-voltage converters, allowing the direct grid integration of renewable power plants without the need for step-up transformers.

This book presents various computationally efficient component- andsystem-level design optimization methods for advanced electrical machines anddrive systems. Readers will discover novel design optimization conceptsdeveloped by the authors and other researchers in the last decade, includingapplication-oriented, multi-disciplinary, multi-objective, multi-level, deterministic,and robust design optimization methods. A multi-disciplinary analysis includesvarious aspects of materials, electromagnetics, thermotics, mechanics, powerelectronics, applied mathematics, manufacturing technology, and quality controland management. This book will benefit both researchers and engineers in thefield of motor and drive design and manufacturing, thus enabling the effectivedevelopment of the high-quality production of innovative, high-performancedrive systems for challenging applications, such as green energy systems andelectric vehicles.
