n present power system, the engineers face variety of challenges in
planning, construction and operation. In some of the problems, the engineers need
to use managerial talents. In system design or upgrading the entire system into
automatic control instead of slow response of human operator, the engi ...
Switched systems are embedded devices widespread in industrial
applications such as power electronics and automotive control. They
consist of continuous-time dynamical subsystems and a rule that
controls the switching between them. Under a suitable control rule, the
system can improve its steady-sta ...
Modern power systems involve large amount of investment. An electric power
system comprises of generation, transmission, and distribution of electric energy.
Growth of power systems has led to very complex networks extended across large
areas. In such situations, the proper functioning of a modern p ...
Today, electric power transmission systems should face many demanding chal-
lenges, which include balancing between reliability, economics, environmental,
and other social objectives to optimize the grid assets and satisfy the growing
electrical demand.
Moreover, the operational environment of trans ...
This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and students willing to ex-
plore conceptual bridges between the fields of Automatic Control and Power
Electronics. The need to bring the two disciplines closer has been felt, for
many years, both by Power Electronics specialists and by Automatic Cont ...
My association with the theory of controls in continuous time started during my studies at
the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 1974 as an undergraduate student
in the Controls and Power program. The initial introduction by Professors Kesavamurthy,
Y. P. Singh, and Rajagopalan la ...
This reference design describes the design of a 3-phase AC induction
vector control drive with position encoder coupled to the motor shaft. It
is based on Motorola’s DSP56F805 dedicated motor control device.
AC induction motors, which contain a cage, are very popular in variable
speed drives. They ...
The idea of writing this book arose from the need to investigate the main principles of
modern power electronic control strategies, using fuzzy logic and neural networks, for
research and teaching. Primarily, the book aims to be a quick learning guide for
postgraduate/undergraduate students or desig ...
The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in
supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self-
healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources.
From a conceptual point of view, ...
The Industrial Revolution, which started in England around 1760, has replaced
human muscle power with the machine. Artificial intelligence (AI) aims at replacing
human intelligence with the machine. The work on artificial intelligence started in
the early 1950s, and the term itself was coined in 195 ...
