The operation and analysis of different types of electrical machines and variable-speed drives is described in this book, using space-vector theory. The equations are arranged in forms that can be directly used for computation.

This text discusses numerous artificial intelligence applications to electrical machines and drives. The drives considered are: DC drives; induction motor drives; synchronous motor drives; switched reluctance motor drives; and sensorless drives.

In recent years vector-controlled a.c. drives have taken over from more conventional d.c. drives. Applications are found everywhere including machine tools and robotics. This text examines sensorless vector-controlled drives and direct torque-controlled drives.

Offers a discussion of on-line and off-line parameter estimation of smooth-air-gap and salient-pole electrical machines and their diagnosis and condition monitoring. This book presents a physical and mathematical analysis of the various parameter estimators and condition-monitoring methods.
