Artificial-intelligence Based Electrical Machines and Drives: Application of Fuzzy, Neural, Fuzzy-neural and Genetic-algorithm-based Techniques

Recently artificial-intelligence-based techniques (fuzzy logic, neural networks, fuzzy-neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc) have received increased attention world-wide and at present two industrial drives incorporate some form of artificial intelligence. This is the first comprehensive book which discusses numerous AI applications to electrical machines and drives. The drives considered are: d.c. drives, induction motor drives, synchronous motor drives, and switched reluctance motor drives. Sensorless drives are also considered. It is essential reading for anyone interested in acquiring a solid background in AI-based electrical machines and drives. It presents a detailed and unified mathematical and physical treatment.
