Electric Drives and Electromechanical Systems - Richard (School of Electronics and Computer Science Crowder - Bog

Electric Drives and Electromechanical Devices, Second Edition, presents a unified approach to the design and application of modern drive system. It explores problems involved in assembling complete, modern electric drive systems involving mechanical, electrical and electronic elements. The work provides a global overview of design, specification applications, important design information and methodologies. This new edition has been restructured to present a seamless, logical discussion on a wide range of topical problems relating to the design and specification of the complete motor-drive system. The book is organised to establish immediate solutions to specific application problem. Subsidiary issues that have a considerable impact of the overall performance and reliability, including environmental protection and costs, energy efficiency, and for networked applications, cyber security, are also considered. This text aims to fill the gap between highly analytic academic text books and the handbooks issued by a number of drive and system manufacturers.
Presents a comprehensive consideration of electromechanical systems, combining traditional concepts and cutting-edge developmentsProvides insights into the complete drive system, including required sensors, mechanical components, and controlFeatures in-depth discussion of control schemes, particularly focusing on practical operationIncludes extensive references to modern application domains and real-world case studies, such as electric vehiclesConsiders the cyber aspects of drives, including networking and securityAdopts specific standards and current industrial practices
