About the Book:

"Electric Drives: Operation, Control and Applications" is a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of electric drives. Starting with the fundamental concepts, this book offers detailed explanations of the steady-state and dynamic performance of both DC and AC motor drives. It extensively covers both conventional and power electronic control, including open loop and closed loop configurations.

To grasp the concept of electronic power control of drives, the book provides a thorough description of power electronics converters. The examples provided in this book are programmed using MATLAB 13.0, with simulated results included for better understanding. The selection of motor power rating and the industrial applications of electric drives are explored in dedicated chapters.

Designed as an introductory text for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical engineering, as well as undergraduate electronics engineering students, this book is written in a clear and straightforward language. It is also suitable for self-study for practicing engineers.

"Electric Drives: Operation, Control and Applications" is the ultimate reference for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of electric drives and their applications.
