"Digital Control of Electrical Drives offers insight into electric drives control and their usage in motion control environment. It provides links among electrical machine and control theory, practical hardware aspects, programming issues, and application-specific problems. The book prepares the reader to understand the key elements of motion control systems, to analyze and design discrete-time speed and position controllers, set adjustable feedback parameters, and evaluate closed-loop performances. Basic engineering principles are used to derive the controller structure in an intuitive manner so that designs are easy to comprehend, recall, modify, repeat, and extend." "Digital Control of Electrical Drives helps the reader to acquire practical skills in designing discrete-time speed and position controllers. Each chapter is followed by a set of Matlab and Simulink tools which help readers master the phases of design, tuning, simulation, and evaluation of discrete time controllers, and foresee the effects of control solution on the overall motion control system. Readers will also understand the present performance limits of digital motion controllers."--Jacket.
