Description:
A well-rounded resource for professionals and students at all levels, this state-of-the-art book systematically explores the application of artificial neural networks in power electronics, with particular emphasis on the sensorless control of AC drives, including for active power filtering. The authors briefly review space-vector theory and then cover voltage source inverters and their control, as well as AC electrical drive control. The core of the book examines specific original applications of linear neural networks. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the theories.
Review Quotes:
"I am not aware of [a] book as thorough as the present book. ... I am teaching Power Electronics and Drives Control and I will strongly recommend this book for my students."
--Prof. Mohamed Benbouzid, LBMS-IUT of Brest, France
"I sincerely hope that this novel and state-of-the-art book on power electronics and motor drives gets wide and enthusiastic acceptance from the professional community of power electronics consisting of R&D professionals, practicing engineers, university professors, and even graduate students. ... This state-of-the-art book, authored by Maurizio Cirrincione, Marcello Pucci, and Gianpaolo Vitale, is the first book that systematically explores the application of neural networks in the field of power electronics. It emphasizes, particularly, neural network applications in sensorless control of AC drives, including their applications in active power filtering."
