Book description
In
Chaos in Electric Drive Systems: Analysis, Control and Application
authors Chau and Wang systematically introduce an emerging technology
of electrical engineering that bridges abstract chaos theory and
practical electric drives. The authors consolidate all important
information in this interdisciplinary technology, including the
fundamental concepts, mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis,
computer simulation, and hardware implementation. The book provides
comprehensive coverage of chaos in electric drive systems with three
main parts: analysis, control and application. Corresponding drive
systems range from the simplest to the latest types: DC, induction,
synchronous reluctance, switched reluctance, and permanent magnet
brushless drives.
- The first book to comprehensively treat chaos in electric drive systems
- Reviews chaos in various electrical engineering technologies and
drive systems
- Presents innovative approaches to stabilize and stimulate chaos in
typical drives
- Discusses practical application of chaos stabilization, chaotic
modulation and chaotic motion
- Authored by well-known scientists in the field
- Lecture materials available from the book's companion website
This book is ideal for researchers and graduate students who
specialize in electric drives, mechatronics, and electric machinery,
as well as those enrolled in classes covering advanced topics in
electric drives and control. Engineers and product designers in
industrial electronics, consumer electronics, electric appliances and
electric vehicles will also find this book helpful in applying these
emerging techniques.
