Book Description
This book describes intelligent control and its use in power electronic systems, specifically AC motor drives and uninterruptable power supply (UPS) systems. The book covers both the fundamentals of the subject and its practical applications. From the Foreword by Lotfi A. Zadeh, Director of Berkeley Soft Computing Center, California: ‘What is unusual about [this book] is that it starts with a description of more or less classical control techniques; moves on to modern control and state space techniques; addresses in detail the complex issues arising in the analysis and design of robust control; takes up digital signal processing controllers; and finally, presents a very insightful exposition of soft computing techniques and their application to advanced control of AC drives and UPS systems.’
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Dote and Hoft, professors of engineering in Japan and the US respectively, write about the control of alternating current motors (AC drives) and of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) using the latest developments in automatic control theory, fields to which they themselves have substantially contributed during their careers. The first four chapters provide an introduction to electric motors, electronic inverters, and control system techniques. . . . The culmination of the book is chapter 8, ‘Soft Computing Applied to Intelligent Control of AC Drives and UPS Systems.’ It describes the merging of the concepts and techniques of fuzzy logic, neural networks, probabilistic reasoning (which includes chaos theory), learning theory, and related topics into an emerging methodology of soft computing, and discusses applications to motor control and UPS systems. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.”–Choice
