Artificial-Intelligence-Based Electrical Machines and Drives: Application of Fuzzy, Neural, Fuzzy-neural, and Genetic-Algorithm-based Techniques (Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

Roughly half of all electricity generated is consumed in motors, and recent efforts to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to improving electric motors are receiving attention worldwide. At present two industrial drives incorporate some form of AI. This book is the first comprehensive discussion of AI applications to electrical machines and drives. It looks at d.c. drives, induction motor drives, synchronous motor drives, switched reluctance motor drives, and sensorless drives. It combines simple explanations of AI-based systems with detailed and unified mathematical and physical treatments, and it includes numerous worked examples, simulations, and experimental results.
