Sliding Mode Control for Synchronous Electric Drives

Sergey Ryvkin first graduated with high honors as an engineer from the Moscow Institute for Aviation Engineering (Technical University), after which he gained his PhD degree from the Institute of Control Sciences (USSR Academy of Science) in Moscow and was awarded a DSc from the Supreme Certifying Commission of Russian Ministry of Education and Science in Moscow. He is currently a professor at the Russian State University for Humanities and a leading researcher at the Laboratory of Adaptive Control Systems for Dynamic objects at the Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences from the Russian Academy of Sciences. His lines of research are the application of the sliding mode techniques to control of electrical drives and power systems and to their parameter observation. Prof. Ryvkin holds several patents and published one monograph, five textbooks and more than 100 papers in international journals and proceedings. He is a member of the Russian Academy of Electrotechnical Sciences and a senior member of the IEEE.Eduardo Palomar Lever got his BSc degree in electromechanical engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, after which he obtained an MSc degree in control engineering and computing sciences from the University of Warwick, UK, and a PhD on sliding regimes to control servomechanisms from the University of Sussex, UK. He is a full time research professor at the University of Guadalajara. His lines of research focus on nonlinear control systems and servomechanisms control using digital sliding modes. Prof. Palomar-Lever’s teaching specialties are advanced-level control engineering, automation, advanced mathematics, computing languages, software development, and statistics. He earlier published a book on ferroelectric materials as well as several papers on sliding motion control and biomedicine in international journals and conference proceedings.

"The book Sliding Mode Control for Synchronous Electric Drives is intended for graduated students and specialists on control theory and applications, particularly on sliding mode control (SMC) of electrical drives. This book is also valuable for undergraduate students, practicing engineers, and control designers, willing to pursue a deep understanding of SMC [...]. [...] Using a rigorous treatment of mathematical concepts, the text relates theory, models, and applications. [...] This text is strongly recommended for Ph.D. students on SMC or nonlinear control in electrical drives, and for teachers and researchers in nonlinear control or variable structure control". Fernando A. Silva and Marian P. Kazmierkowski, IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, June 2013 This book, written by well-known researchers in the field, presents the theory of sliding mode control systems with application to electrical motors and power converters. [...] The main contribution of the book is Chapter 4 (Synchronous Drive Control Design) which presents two basic control schemes for synchronous drives with sliding mode approaches, taking into account the optimizations of the efficiency and power factor. [...] The final Chapter 8 (Practical Examples of Drive Control) is an excellent one describing sensor-less control of high-speed synchronous drive and digital control of electric drive with elastic connections. One of the attractive features of the book includes the application of sliding mode control to practical case of electric motor drives with experimental verification and validation. Exercises at the end of each chapter [make] this book an ideal choice for using it for a Special Problems course either in EE or Controls. [...] an excellent addition to this important field. D.
