Intelligent Control for Electric Power Systems and Electric Vehicles

The contents of the present monograph on Intelligent Control for Electric Power Systems and Electric Vehicles, are outlined as follows: Chapter 1 is on Nonlinear optimal control and Lie algebra-based control (Control based on approximate linearization and Global linearization-based control concepts). Chapter 2 is on Differential flatness theory and flatness-based control methods (Global linearization-based control with the use of differential flatness theory and Flatness-based control of nonlinear dynamical systems in cascading loops). Chapter 3 is on Control of DC and PMBLDC electric motors (Control of DC motors through a DC-DC converter and Control of Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motors). Chapter 4 is on Control of VSI-fed three-phase and multi-phase PMSMs (Nonlinear optimal control VSI-fed three-phase PMSMs and Nonlinear optimal control VSI-fed six-phase PMSMs). Chapter 5 is on Control of energy conversion chains based on PMSMs (Control of wind-turbine and PMSM-based electric power unit and Control of a PMSM-driven gas-compression unit).Chapter 6 is on Control of energy conversion chains based on InductionMachines (Control of the VSI-fed three-phase induction motor, Control of an induction motor-driven gas compressor and Control of induction generator-based shipboard microgrids). Chapter 7 is on Control of multi-phase machines in gas processing and power units (Control of gas-compressors actuated by 5-phase PMSMs and Control of 6-phase induction generators in renewable energy units). Chapter 8 is on Control of Spherical Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors and Switched Reluctance Motors (Control of spherical permanent magnet synchronous motors, Control of switched reluctance motors for electric traction and Adaptive control for switched reluctance motors).
